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.

The male co-leader position was vacant following the November 2005 death of Rod Donald until the 2006 annual general meeting when Norman was elected using the alternative vote system. Following former female co-leader ...

Green Party: State Of Auckland Report Supports Green
The State of our City report demonstrates that Auckland urgently needs a CBD rail loop and other green transport priorities because it is the economic engine of the country, said the Green Party today.The report says that Auckland City contributes a disproportionately large share of the country's GDP relative to its population, and that the city's economy is dominated by white collar jobs in the business, financial and property sectors. 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 ...

Clogged roads show need for investment in congestion-free network Increasing congestion in our major cities shows that urgent investment is needed in public transport and the National Government's motorway programme has failed, Green Party transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter said today.The Tomtom survey, released today, shows congestion is worsening in the major cities, despite the National Government spending a billion dollars a year on new motorways. The report highlights that much of the congestion is on local roads."This report shows the urgent need to invest in public transport projects that will allow more people to commute without congestion and free up the roads," said Ms Genter."The City Rail Link, for example, will carry the equivalent of 12 lanes of motorway traffic. Without it, congestion in Auckland will just get worse. If we build the CRL as soon as possible, as the Green Party proposes, it will give Aucklanders reliable choices to avoid congestion and take pressure off the roads."The Greens are backing a plan for congestion-free t |
Action needed over Police misleading NZers The Green Party is calling for the responsible Police staff to be held to account over the misleading statements made about complaints of sexual assault taken against the group calling themselves the RoastBusters.Previously, Police had said that they didn't have the formal statement from one of the victims they needed in order to prosecute but today they confirmed that they did in fact already have a formal statement."Revelations that the Police have misled us all is a blow to the victims of sexual assault," Green Party Co-leader Metiria Turei said today."We welcome the Minister's announcement of an independent investigation. It must look at why Police have not pursued the serious complaints that they have received and who is responsible for that."It is unbelievable that the Police would tell the public that they needed a victim 'brave enough' to make a formal complaint before they could take action, while they knew that had a complaint already laid."As a result of the victim-blaming l |

Treasury undermines Govt’s business case for irrigation subsidy Treasury documents released to the Green Party under the OIA show that the Government's favourite Think Big irrigation projects don't make economic sense, the Green Party said today."It is not sound economic management to throw hundreds of millions of taxpayer money into projects that Treasury says do not make economic sense," said Green Party Co-leader Dr Russel Norman."The Government is proposing to spend $400 million from their failed assets sales programme to subsidise large-scale irrigation projects, claiming that these produce benefits that Treasury says simply aren't there."According to the Treasury documents the rates of return for large-scale irrigation projects are low to average at best. Treasury says that the 'farm gate analysis indicates that irrigating the proposed areas would (in aggregate) constitute a loss-making investment' and that broader economy-wide effects 'arise principally from the stimulatory effect of the construction activity'.
