New Zealand has today missed the opportunity to uphold the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, says James Shaw after his member’s bill was voted down in its first reading. 

The Government is giving big industry a free pass to bulldoze New Zealand’s precious native wildlife. 

The Government’s new timeframe for expanding oil and gas exploration starts the clock on the time remaining to save the oil and gas ban. 

Hon James Shaw, the architect of New Zealand’s landmark climate change legislation, the Zero Carbon Act, has announced that he will be stepping down as Co-leader of the Green Party in March. He will remain in Parliament for the time being to support the Bill of Rights (Right to a Sustainable Environment) Amendment Bill.

Golriz Ghahraman has been the leading voice in Parliament for human rights, truly independent foreign policy, and electoral reform for six years. Her political achievements are significant.

The Green Party is pleased to announce the allocation of portfolios across its largest caucus ever.

The Green Party has launched a petition to save the ban on oil and gas exploration.
