Ensuring a strong, clear Green voice for the climate and the environment and a fairer society for all of us.
Across the road from my first house in Christchurch is buried Kate Sheppard, the leader of a movement that won women the right to vote, a basic human right the world now takes for granted. NZ history I am proud of.
When I was a boy in the late seventies, I remember a nuclear-powered attack submarine being forced to stop in its tracks by a brave flotilla of protest craft, and Aotearoa later became a world leading nuclear free zone. NZ history I am proud of.
In the early eighties, New Zealand stood up for the people of South Africa oppressed by apartheid, filling the streets to protest the touring Springbok team. NZ history I am proud of.
At the turn of the millennium we elected the first Green candidate in the world to win an electorate seat, and two decades later a Green Minister led the historic Zero Carbon Act into law. NZ Green history I am proud of.
Be proud to Party Vote Green this election.
