The Green Party says the Government’s new funding for homelessness, announced yesterday, is a drop in the bucket to address the crisis in New Zealand.

The Green Party is warning that the Government’s changes to public housing will see more public housing tenants evicted and driven deeper into poverty. 

The Green Party are calling on the Government to immediately activate the Civil Defence Payment across the Wellington region, after a regional state of emergency was declared this afternoon. 

The Green Party is condemning the Government’s weakening of Te Tiriti o Waitangi provisions across multiple pieces of legislation. 

The Green Party is astounded to read a Wellington City Council working group’s newly released cost-cutting proposal which includes major slash and burn cuts to climate change and transport.

The Green Party is calling on the Government to commit to solutions to end homelessness, following the National Homelessness Data Project’s latest report which shows that, in every area, rates of homelessness are either unchanged or getting worse.

The Green Party’s successful amendment to New Zealand’s first ever stalking law will better protect victims of stalking and harassment.  

Wellingtonians are making it clear they want Māori place names to be restored to Wellington electorates, with more than 5,300 signatures on a petition sent to the Representation Committee today by Green Party Wellington MPs Julie Anne Genter and Tamatha Paul.

The Government’s 300 new social housing places will fail to even begin to address the homelessness crisis in Aotearoa, says the Green Party.
