The New Zealand government is amending the Climate Change Response Act 2002, a move that has drawn criticism from the Green Party and praise from the Act Party. The changes aim to prevent a legal action against Fonterra and others regarding climate change. Act Party's agriculture spokesperson, Mark Cameron, claims the changes will end 'lawfare' from climate change activists.
