  • NZ climate response slammed as ‘inadequate’, again

    Julie Anne Genter November 11, 2016 11:31 AM
    Global climate experts have exposed an enormous credibility gap between the National Government's rhetoric on climate change and its actions, the Green Party said today. New Zealand’s response to climate change has today been labelled ‘inadequate’ for the fourth year in a row by Climate Action Tracker – an international group of climate science researchers. New Zealand is ranked below the European Union, China, USA and India. "Climate experts are effectively calling out the National Government for greenwashing," said Green...

  • Budget cuts hurting New Zealanders’ health

    Julie Anne Genter November 10, 2016 1:36 PM
    The eye health of 44 New Zealanders’ has been compromised, and some have suffered partial sight loss, because of an overwhelmed health system that is not able to treat patients quickly enough, the Green Party said today. The latest annual report from the Health Quality & Safety Commission into “adverse events” in our hospitals also shows a large increase in clinical management issues across the country in a range of departments, up from 205 in 2014-15 to 245 in 2015-16. Clinical...

  • Warkworth motorway relies on expensive private loan

    Julie Anne Genter November 03, 2016 5:27 PM
    National’s gold-plated Pūhoi to Warkworth motorway will suck good money away from more valuable, worthwhile transport projects in Auckland and Northland for decades to come, the Green Party said today. Transport Minister Simon Bridges announced today that work will finally start on its so-called Road of National Significance from Pūhoi to Warkworth, 18 kilometres of motorway with a benefit cost ratio of just 1.1 to 1.2. “This motorway won't do anything to help Northland, it just sucks up funding for...

  • More New Zealanders join the call for a mental health inquiry

    Julie Anne Genter November 02, 2016 12:51 PM
    A petition from Life Matters Suicide Prevention Trust presented at Parliament today shows that more people are joining the call for a mental health inquiry, the Green Party said. “Who else does the Minister of Health need to hear from to convince him that a nationwide mental health inquiry is desperately needed?” Green Party health spokesperson Julie Anne Genter said today. “Time and time again, we have heard about the failings in our mental health system and why an inquiry...

  • National’s road-building obsession a dead end for young Kiwis

    Julie Anne Genter October 31, 2016 11:24 AM
    The National Government needs to rethink its multibillion-dollar motorway expansion projects and prioritise investment in public transport and cycling, with new figures showing that young New Zealanders are falling out of love with the car, the Green Party said. Statistics New Zealand figures show there are now fewer teens on the road than those aged over 75, while Ministry of Transport numbers show the number of licences issued each year had been increasing until 2010, before dropping back to levels...

  • National's infrastructure plan irresponsible, short-sighted

    Julie Anne Genter October 21, 2016 11:03 AM
    The National Government's infrastructure plan, released today, completely ignores the reality of climate change, the Green Party said. "I am disappointed at the backwards direction National is taking New Zealand. There is a complete absence of investment into a low-carbon economy in this plan," said Green Party transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter. "We have just ratified the Paris Agreement, which says we will reduce carbon pollution. How can Kiwi families and businesses do that if we don't build modern, clean...

  • Number of suicides reflects a broken mental health system

    Julie Anne Genter October 18, 2016 12:36 PM
    The record-high provisional annual suicide statistics released today by the Chief Coroner shows why the Government should urgently initiate a nationwide mental health inquiry, the Green Party said today. 579 people died by suicide in the 2015/16 year, which is the highest number of suicide deaths since provisional statistics were first recorded by the Coroner’s Office in 2007/08. “The number of Kiwis who are tragically taking their own lives reflects the failings in our mental health system,” Green Party health...

  • Tax sugary drinks to help our children

    Julie Anne Genter October 13, 2016 11:27 AM
    More and more New Zealand children are being hospitalised for tooth decay issues, and the Government needs to implement a sugary drinks tax to help turn this around, the Green Party said today. Ministry of Health figures show the rate of hospitalisation for dental caries (or basic tooth decay) for young people has increased 13 per cent from 2008-09 to 2013-14. 6471 young people were hospitalised for tooth decay in 2012-14. “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out...

  • National still holding back rail

    Julie Anne Genter September 15, 2016 4:50 PM
    National has put key rail projects in Auckland on the backburner, choosing to delay light rail to the airport for a decade and a possible rail line to the North Shore for another two, the Green Party said today. The Government and Auckland Council this afternoon laid out a decade by decade plan outlining the major transport projects it wants to progress over the next 30 years. "With rapid population growth and the urgent need to cut climate pollution, now...

  • KiwiRail needs Govt to back electric trains

    Julie Anne Genter September 15, 2016 10:49 AM
    National needs to commit to the full electrification of the Main Trunk Line between Auckland and Wellington so KiwiRail can upgrade to new clean-energy electric trains, the Green Party said today. KiwiRail is expected to reveal on Monday whether it will replace its existing fleet of electric locomotives with new electric ones, or revert back to diesel locomotives. “It would be ridiculous to revert back to dirty diesel trains, particularly given National’s promise to move away from climate-polluting fossil fuels...
