Should we strengthen the ETS to get rid of bogus credits and include all industry?

You didn't actually read that did you? Here, I'll quote the relevant bit for you:

In 2014, New Zealand’s gross greenhouse gas emissions increased 1 per cent since the previous year to 81.1 Mt CO2-e.

Since 1990, New Zealand’s gross emissions have increased 23 per cent (15.3 Mt CO2-e).

And here's something a little more recent:

New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions in 2015 were 24.1 percent higher than 1990 levels - a far cry from the country's commitment in the Paris agreement.

Yep, still going up.

10 years. Means they are lower now than they were 10 years ago, not 30 years ago or one year ago.

Our per capita emissions peaked in 2000 and are down 10% since then.

Per capita is not emissions. You are both talking about different units.

From my point of view the emissions should not be measured per capita. We are trying to reduce the absolute emissions of the country. Per capita allows you to say we have reduced emissions when in fact you have increased them overall due to there being more people.

10 years. Means they are lower now than they were 10 years ago, not 30 years ago or one year ago.

Dude, they're up from one year ago. A year before that they were from the preceding year. Going all the way back to 1990.

That because absorption is decreasing.

I'd ask for citations but @taneharre link shows that emissions have been static over 10 years and rising over the last few. The overall trend is still up.

Absolute total emissions are down from ten years ago.
Per capita are down 10% from their peak.

The general trends are downwards. It doesn't fit with the calamitous narrative required for draconian changes however.

I don't know where you are getting your information from but the general trend isn't downwards at all. Also if you look at the net emissions (total emissions minus emissions absorbed) they are rising sharply.

My information is from here.

That because absorption is decreasing. Doesn't mean emission is rising.

Per Tane's source,

Peak emission was 83.7 in '06. In '14 it was 81.1

Peak absorption was 33.39 in '08. In '14 it 24.41.

Net emissions:

1990 = 31.6
2014 = 56.69

Absorption:

1990 = 28.93
2014 = 24.41

That's an increase an increase in emissions far greater than the decrease in absorption.

Emissions is no longer at its peak value. What does that tell you?
