Judith Collins said heads should roll over the ‘sanitised’ report. The figure was immediately challenged by the Taxpayers’ Union’s Louis Houlbrooke, who compared it to a report from two years ago which suggested a cost of 16.8 per cent of GDP.

So we will wait and see - they are only projections,” Collins said. Collins publicly mulled breaking with her party and voting against the Zero Carbon Bill which created the commission, but eventually fell into line with then-leader Simon Bridges.

Deep retrofit and stimulus
With governments across Europe looking for ways to jump start their economies following the early impact of Covid-19, attention is increasingly turning to deep retrofit. But while there is strong evidence that deep retrofit could play a major role, the devil will be in the detail – and the challenge of dramatically upscaling a nascent industry shouldn’t be underestimated.
