ENG -The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand is a political party in the New Zealand parliament. 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 party is currently co-led by MP Jeanette Fitzsimons and Russel Norman. The party has both a male and female co-leader. 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 by party delegates from electorates around the country.

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 ...

Farmers hung out to dry as National fails to show leadership on climate change Farmers need the Government to show leadership on climate change and support them to face the challenges ahead, Green Party climate change spokesperson Dr Kennedy Graham said. "The National Government has no plan to address the increasingly serious effects of climate in the agriculture sector and farmers are being hung out to dry," Dr Graham said. "The National Government is ignoring climate change, and downgrading measures like an Emissions Trading Scheme to tackle it, but is also failing to future-proof key New Zealand industries like agriculture. "A national strategy is needed to face the challenge of climate change. Of course that would require an explicit acknowledgement of concern. "Finance Minister Bill English wouldn't mention the two dirty little words 'climate change' when talking about farmers suffering extreme droughts. However he did say 'if it turned out there was a succession of droughts there's no amount of Government assistance that can offset that effect on farming'. |
Nats’ power grabs no solution to Auckland housing Minister Nick Smith needs to stop threatening Aucklanders with another National power grab and drop his fixation on increasing urban sprawl, in light of a official report that his approach won't solve Auckland's housing woes, Green Party housing spokesperson Holly Walker said today.Housing Minister Nick Smith is threatening to seize zoning powers from the Auckland Council to re-zone more land for urban sprawl. A report from Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment to Minister Smith states that there is plenty of fringe land available and that the problem is actually lack of affordable home building in existing suburbs."Nick Smith hasn't taken long to revert to his old habits of fudging the numbers and fabricating crises to suit his agenda," said Ms Walker."While Minister Smith is trying to scare Aucklanders into accepting further central government control over local decisions and more urban sprawl, the official advice he has been receiving shows that isn't necessary," said Ms W |
Get real, not GE, about drought solutions Taking advantage of farmers' desperate situations to push the genetic engineering (GE) agenda is unacceptable, the Green Party said today. This was in response to Federated Farmers Vice-President William Rolleston's comments yesterday that the Government should relax the country's genetic engineering regulations, making them less restrictive in order to assist the release of GE drought resistant grass. "Now is the time to provide relief to farmers and take a look at which farming systems can withstand extreme weather events in the long term, not to pounce on the opportunity to loosen regulations and push GE products," said Green Party agriculture spokesperson Steffan Browning. "New Zealanders, and our export markets, don't want GE in our foods. "This drought will break, but we will have another and we need to be ready so we can continue to provide the good, safe food our customers want. "Farmers who are experiencing drought after drought are looking for strategies to manage the new wea |
How much water to go under the bridge before action taken? National's freshwater reform package lacks concrete steps to protect our waterways when urgent action is required, the Green Party says. The Ministers for Environment and Primary Industry yesterday released a discussion document outlining the Government's proposals for freshwater management. "The freshwater discussion document lacks concrete action to protect our waterways and prevent further water pollution," Green Party water spokesperson Eugenie Sage said. "The package is light on regulation and heavy on reliance on Environment Ministry guidance. The document recognises that water quality is declining, yet a major gap is the lack of any specific limits for contaminants such as sediment, nitrate and periphyton in the proposed National Objectives Framework. "Discussion is needed on what limits are needed on contaminants, not whether we should have limits. "The Government is dragging its feet on safeguarding water quality and river health, yet fast-tracking irrigation development when |
