The Māori Seats in parliament are for Māori people. They are a Tiriti-based right not a race-based right. This is why at Rātana Pā we launched a member's bill to entrench Māori seats - the bare minimum for protect dedicated Māori voice in our parliament.

Tere tohorā, tere tangata. Where whales journey, people follow.

Green Party celebrates decision to decline Taranaki seabed mining

November 7 election, so make sure you're enrolled by mid October. #nzpol

Climate change is not going anywhere and New Zealanders deserve a government that puts climate action, adaptation & strong emergency responses first.

The Government is choosing to increase climate changing emissions and failing to support communities hit first and worst by severe weather. Climate change is increasing the cost of living and wreaking havoc on the livelihoods of our regional communities.

The flooding in Te Tai Tokerau is a climate change charged weather event. The Government will try to tell you that floods like these shouldn't be politicised. But the thing is, this is political.

Today, we renew our commitment to all those survivors, whānau, hapū, iwi, communities and support networks who advocated and told their stories throughout the Inquiry. We will continue to stand with them and support their urgent call for action.

Survivors of abuse suffered at the hands of the state and churches deserve more than an apology; they deserve action. This Govt has a responsibility to ensure that no one ever again suffers the horrific abuses these survivors have. The Govt’s policies are going in a different direction.

Survivors have repeatedly called for the Government to implement all 138 recommendations which resulted from the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care, honour the principles of Te Tiriti, & critically, stop the boot camp programmes that continue the cycle of harm to rangatahi in care today.

One year on, we must question the value of an apology made by a Government that refuses to listen and respond to the voices of survivors. Every child, young person or adult placed in state or faith-based care should be protected from harm and given everything they need to thrive.

We are deeply concerned about major cuts to funding for Māori news and current affairs programmes Te Karere and The Hui, by Te Māngai Pāhō. This is terrible for Māori media, and sadly consistent with this Government’s continual undermining of Māori culture.

Tomorrow, October 23rd, over 100,000 unionised workers will organise together with a clear message to the Coalition Govt: Your anti-union propaganda isn't working. Kiwis want healthy, well-paid healthcare workers, teachers, and public sector workers. And austerity will NEVER deliver that. #nzpol

The Green Party says the Government’s decision not to recognise Palestinian statehood is cowardly, and a stain on Aotearoa’s reputation as a voice for peace and justice internationally. www.greens.org.nz/govt_cowardl...

Israel continues to murder journalists and use starvation as a weapon of war against a civilian population in its genocide against the Palestinians. Yet New Zealand drags its feet in doing the bare minimum to acknowledge the dignity of Palestinians by recognising Palestinian statehood. Kia tere 🇵🇸
