Social and Economic Justice
The Greens believe that, since unlimited material growth is impossible, the key to social responsibility is the just distribution of social and natural resources. Sue Bradford is the Green MP primarily responsible for Social and Economic Justice issues. Her areas of responsibility include Labour, Industrial Relations, Employment, Work and Income, Accident Compensation, Housing, Community Economic Development, Mental Health and Gambling. She has undertaken these responsibilities in Parliament because of her desire to bring about genuine, positive solutions to the unemployment, poverty and social problems that plague so many people and their communities in Aotearoa today.
