SAVE THE DATE: SATURDAY 7 NOVEMBER 🌿

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.

“This is just a sour cherry on top of a terrible year for our workers, who have been under constant attack under this Government,” says Green Party spokesperson for Workplace Relations, @teanau.bsky.social. FULL MEDIA RELEASE: www.greens.org.nz/govt_s_chris...

Today’s report from the Environment Select Committee shows 95% of submitters oppose the Fast-track Approvals Amendment Bill. Yet again, Luxon’s Government is squashing long standing environmental safeguards, te Tiriti obligations & democracy to benefit their wealthy mates and corporations.

"The Greens affirm our pledge to properly resource and promote clear pathways for timely, free, non-discriminatory access to all forms of gender-affirming healthcare based on informed consent and self-determination." www.greens.org.nz/our_trans_wh...

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.

Nothing says climate leadership like opening new oil and gas fields in the middle of a climate crisis 🙄 The Govt announcing the re-opening of permits for oil & gas exploration says one thing: short-term profits for the wealthy few takes priority over a liveable future for all of us.

Latest stats indicating the worst unemployment numbers since the outbreak of the pandemic are further proof that the Govt’s policies are forcing people further into hardship and poverty.

The Government’s reckless decision to repeal the oil and gas ban will inflame the climate and cost of living crises 🌏🔥 Today, Luxon committed to higher power bills and fossil fuel dependence. This Govt keeps choosing to undermine our resilience rather than transition to clean, green energy.

The Green Party is calling on the Govt to recognise Palestinian statehood 🇵🇸 Aotearoa must stand for peace and for human rights. New Zealand must act in response to Israel’s violent occupation of Gaza and the starvation of thousands of Palestinians.
