Leader of the centre-right Nationals Party has urged Labor not to adopt New Zealand’s style methane tax, saying it will cost Australians at the grocery store amid the cost of living crisis.

It comes following the news on Thursday that the Labor government is looking to pledge its support to U.S. President Joe Biden’s global pledge to reduce methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030.
