Huge Contraction Expected As A Result of Emissions Trading Regime

Business New Zealand made an interesting submission to the Select Commitee on the emissions trading bill this week. Included in it were predictions on the likely impact that scheme will have on particular sectors:

Sheep farming -32%
Wool -28%
Dairy farming -28%
Dairy processing -14%
Metals -31%

If this is true, how are we going to pay our way in the world??
