Shane Jones是拒绝向化石燃料行业贷款的银行的权利

尽管化石燃料行业被指控所有事情，但这并不是非法的运营。这就是为什么Shane Jones正在计划这种干预

The Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones has threatened to introduce a private members bill that would force banks to do business with the fossil fuel industry.

副能源部长肖恩·琼斯（Shane Jones）威胁要提出一项私人成员法案，该法案将迫使银行与化石燃料行业开展业务。

This comes after several banks, including ANZ, have announced that they will no longer be lending money to the fossil fuel industry in an effort to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

这是在包括ANZ在内的几家银行宣布，他们将不再向化石燃料行业借钱，以便到2050年努力达到零排放。

Jones said that the banks' decision is "unfair" and that it is "treating people who own petrol stations, for example, like second-class citizens."

琼斯说，银行的决定是“不公平的”，它是“对待拥有汽油站的人，例如二等公民”。

"If you're running a perfectly legitimate business, then banks shouldn't be allowed to close their doors to you," he said.

他说：“如果您经营着完全合法的业务，那么不应允许银行关闭他们的门。”

However, some argue that the banks have the right to decide who they do and don't do business with.

但是，有些人认为银行有权决定他们做谁而不与之开展业务。

The fossil fuel industry has been accused of contributing to climate change, but it is not an illegal operation.

化石燃料行业被指控为气候变化做出贡献，但这不是非法行动。

The Net Zero Banking Alliance, which banks around the world have signed up to, is a voluntary initiative that aims to get banks to lend money to businesses and industries that align with the goal of having net zero emissions by 2050.

全球银行已经签署的净零银行联盟是一项自愿性倡议，旨在使银行向企业和行业贷款，以符合到2050年到2050年净零排放的目标。

A total of 136 banks in 44 countries have joined the alliance, with assets worth about $NZD100 trillion.

44个国家共有136家银行加入了该联盟，资产价值约100万亿美元。

The alliance's purpose is to get banks to lend money to businesses and industries that align with the idea or the goal of having net zero emissions by 2050.

联盟的目的是让银行向企业和行业贷款，这些企业和行业与该想法或目标净零排放的目标相吻合。

So you can see why the banks here have been pulling the pin on lending money to petrol stations. Because petrol is "bad" and doesn't do much for achieving your net zero emissions by 2050.

因此，您可以看到为什么这里的银行一直将PIN借给汽油站借钱。因为汽油是“不好的”，并且到2050年可以实现净零排放作用。

And I'm perfectly happy if the banks want to be part of this. Good on them.

如果银行想成为其中的一部分，我感到非常高兴。对他们很好。

I'm perfectly happy if they want all their mobile mortgage managers to run around the place in EVs because that would align with zero emissions. Go for it.

如果他们希望所有的移动抵押贷款经理能够在电动汽车的地方跑来跑去，那我将与零排放量保持一致，我会很高兴。大胆试试吧。

I'm perfectly happy too for the banks to give all their staff free bus passes – although it would be us customers who would end up paying for it.

对于银行提供所有员工免费公交通行证，我也很高兴 - 尽管我们的客户最终会为此付出代价。

What else? Solar panels at all branches? Yep, go for that too.

还有什么？所有分支机构的太阳能电池板？是的，也去。

But turn your nose up at petrol station owners and the general fossil fuel industry? No thanks.

但是，在加油站所有者和一般化石燃料行业的鼻子上抬起头来吗？不，谢谢。

Because, whether the banks like it or not, they are legitimate businesses - just as legitimate as any other sector. And what the banks are doing is wrong.

因为，无论银行是否喜欢它，它们都是合法的企业 - 与其他任何部门一样合法。银行的所作所为是错误的。
