  • Equality for women

    July 25, 2020 1:56 PM
    All people, regardless of gender, should be respected for their innate human dignity. Everyone should be able to enjoy their fundamental rights and freedoms without discrimination. Our current economic and political system does not adequately recognise the needs and experiences of women and gender minorities, leading to entrenched disadvantage. With the Green Party in Government, the past three years have seen significant improvements for gender equality. We have overhauled pay equity legislation to make it fairer for women in work,...

  • Freedom from violence

    July 25, 2020 1:56 PM
    Everyone has the right to control their own lives and be free from violence. Children have a right to be safe. But Aotearoa currently has high rates of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and child abuse. This causes both immediate and long-term harm. The Green Party in Government has secured paid leave for victims of domestic violence, helping people keep their jobs while leaving an abusive relationship. Over three years, we committed over $440 million for frontline community services dealing...

  • Global Affairs

    July 25, 2020 1:55 PM
    Aotearoa can play a leading role creating a connected and compassionate world, where the global community works together to address issues including climate change, human rights, and public health by upholding the international rule of law, and promoting peace and shared responsibility. The world is going through a period of instability, with the impacts of climate change, COVID-19, war, international inequality, mass displacement, pollution, and biodiversity loss among the challenges. Lack of political resolve to combat these challenges leads to...

  • Health

    July 25, 2020 1:55 PM
    COVID-19 has shown us how much we rely on each other. It has also shown us that strong health services are critical. The key to this is quality healthcare provided by a publicly funded health system. There should be no financial or other barriers to anyone accessing the healthcare services they need. In Aotearoa, not everyone is able to get the treatment they need. Our health and wellbeing is shaped by the environment we live in and the personal circumstances...

  • Housing

    July 25, 2020 1:55 PM
    Everyone deserves a warm, dry, affordable home that supports their wellbeing and helps them to be part of a connected community. Successive governments have allowed speculation to drive up prices, and failed to build enough public housing, or support our community housing sector. Owning a home has become unachievable for many families, and many people who rent are forced to settle for substandard, overpriced homes. With the Green Party in Government there has been a reset to the approach to...

  • Immigration and Refugees

    July 25, 2020 1:55 PM
    The Green Party welcomes people who want to make Aotearoa their home. The global refugee crisis continues to see millions of people displaced, and as a responsible member of the international community we should help more refugees find a home here. We look forward to welcoming people into our communities who bring their experiences and perspectives, as well as much-needed skills. For too many new migrants, decent housing and good jobs aren’t available, so we need to build more houses...

  • Justice

    July 25, 2020 1:54 PM
    The Green Party shares the vision of Te Uepū Hāpai i te Ora Safe and Effective Justice Advisory Group: “A justice system that treats all people with humanity, dignity, respect and compassion; recognises the mana inherent in all people and communities; and enables the restoration of that mana whenever it has been diminished.” In Government, we made it easier for victims of sexual and domestic violence to access justice without being re- traumatised, and extended the Youth Court to include...

  • Kaupapa Māori

    July 25, 2020 1:54 PM
    The Green Party wants an Aotearoa where the status of Māori as tangata whenua is recognised and respected, and the harm of colonisation is acknowledged and put right. We understand ecological and social justice includes justice for indigenous people, and that Aotearoa is immeasurably enriched by tikanga Māori. As a Parliamentary political party, we take seriously our responsibility to tangata whenua to reset the relationship with the Crown so tino rangatiratanga is honoured. Our MPs are proud to stand with...

  • Mental Health

    July 25, 2020 1:54 PM
    Aotearoa can be a country where everybody feels they belong. The Green Party has always recognised that our mental health is inextricably linked to communities, our physical wellbeing and sense of belonging, the health of our environment, and our relationships with each other. Poverty, exclusion, racism, isolation, and trauma affect too many people and hamper their ability to live and reach their fullest potential. In Government, we’ve increased access to free youth mental health services through the Piki programme for...

  • Pasifika

    July 25, 2020 1:53 PM
    Aotearoa is a Pacific country. Our Government has a responsibility to support Pāsefika communities in Aotearoa, and to be a good neighbour to other nations in our region. Too many people in our Pāsefika communities are held back by Aotearoa’s economic, education, welfare, and health systems. The Green Party acknowledges the hardships, inequities, and injustices faced by our Pāsefika communities, and knows that supporting all our young people to thrive means investing in them. The Green Party will work alongside...
