ENG:
The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand (in Māori: Rōpū Kākāriki o Aotearoa) is the third largest political party in the New Zealand parliament with 14 seats. It focuses firstly on environmentalism, arguing that all other aspects of humanity will cease to be of concern if there is no environment to sustain it. Ecological economics, progressive social policies, participatory democracy, and non-violence make up the balance of its platform.

It also shows that by far the highest growth in new housing has been in the CBD. Bus and train patronage is way up, while car registrations are declining."New ...

Full details of oil execs’ junket revealed Full details of a $237,000 taxpayer-funded oil executives' junket in 2011 have emerged.National paid the nearly quarter of a million dollars to wine and dine 11 oil executives in New Zealand during the World Cup.The trip included yachting, wine tasting, luxury accommodation and fine dining.The Government has confirmed to the Green Party the trip involved a $7,200 wine tasting trip and accommodation costing almost $10,000 a night at the Intercontinental Hotel in Wellington."National seems to have a bottomless slush fund from which to lavish money on big oil," said Green Party Co-leader Dr Russel Norman."This is a case of Simon Bridges giving oil executives first class treatment while our precious environment gets third class treatment."The extent of National's indulgence shows just how out of touch it is with ordinary people."It's offensive to New Zealand families struggling to get by for their money to be used on yachting and wine tasting for wealthy foreign oil executives."Only two |
Big funding injection for regions in Green Party transport plan The Green Party will increase transport spending in the regions by 50 percent over the next decade under its new transport plan, the Green Party said today."Transport is the life-blood of the regions. They have been starved under National," Green Party transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter said today."Over the next 10 years, we plan increase regional transport funding by $423 million and we will invest $3 billion on state highways that will hugely improve safety."The bulk of the National's transport budget has gone on motorways as it pursues its obsession with Roads of National Significance (RoNS) while regional transport needs have been ignored. The Green Party plan will change that."This plan is about building a smarter greener economy that really works for all New Zealanders."Under the Green Party plan, regions will be able to bid for projects that best serve their transport needs, whether road, rail or a port project."That contrasts with National, which has indulged in naked |
Christchurch Convention Centre: another taxpayer subsidy for business The awarding of the Christchurch convention centre contract raises more questions than it answers, said the Green Party today. The National Government today announced that Plenary Conventions New Zealand, a consortium of Plenary Group, Ngai Tahu Property and Carter Group, has been selected as the preferred development consortium to build the Convention Centre. French company Accor has been selected as the preferred operator. "There are big unanswered questions about what the return to the Crown be with this $284 million spend," said Green Party Christchurch spokesperson Eugenie Sage. "Plenary Group are a company that specialises in public private partnership (PPP) and the Government has not given us any information about who will own the convention centre after the build. "This appears to be a massive subsidy for private businesses. "If taxpayers are putting in $284 million of public money, then it should be owned by the public like the convention centre before the earthquake. "PPPs |

Amnesty International has criticised Fiji's human rights record and called on its government to play fair and respect human rights in run up to the September Fijian elections."We welcome the first election since the Bainimarama coup, but the Green Party has concerns over how free and fair it will be," Green Party global affairs spokesperson, Kennedy Graham, said today."Under the Bainimarama regime there continues to be breaches of fundamental human rights, with repression of opponents of the regime, trade unions, and the media."Fiji workers have lost the right to strike under current draconian legislation, and trade union officials are being intimidated and hara |
