A new report out today provides all evidence the Government needs to start addressing runaway inequality and rebalance Aotearoa to work for everyone.

What the Government should now do is reverse the cuts the National Party Government made to KiwiSaver incentives, the Green Party says.

Following years of political pressure from the Green Party the Government will finally exclude public transport subsidies from the fringe benefit tax.

Following a High Court decision yesterday the Green Party is calling on the Government to amend the Crown Minerals Act to end fossil fuel extraction and to require Ministers to consider climate change when making decisions about whether to grant a permit to prospect, explore or mine other Crown minerals. 

The Green Party has once again shown that bringing people together to demand change works, with the announcement today that the Government will give communities a greater say over how their local transport services are run.

The Greens will continue to push for climate friendly, affordable transport options as part of a new cross-party Parliamentary inquiry into the future of inter-regional passenger rail in New Zealand. 

The Government must take steps to ensure that the way we build our homes is helping to meet New Zealand’s climate change targets, the Green Party said.

The Green Party is on board with the extension of half-price public transport, but once again calls on the Government to go further and make public transport free - for good.

For the cost of cutting taxes to petrol for three months, the Government could have ensured the future of a transformational increase to passenger rail services between Wellington, the Wairarapa and Manawatū, says the Green Party.

The Green Party is calling on the Government to guarantee that it will complete light rail and improve walking, cycling, and bus journeys across Wellington before digging new high-carbon tunnels.
