Why the Entrust election is important? Voting in this year's Entrust Election is one of the most important pieces of climate action you can take. Through Entrust, the people of Auckland own 75.1% of Vector, the company that provides our electricity and has the ability to lead our transition to a clean, green and electrified future. But unfortunately, the current set of Entrust trustees have been holding Vector back. We need new faces and a fresh approach that will prioritise...

Let's transform ACC to become an Agency of Comprehensive Care When our friends and whānau have an accident or become unable to work, we want them to be looked after with the care and support they need. But right now, ACC, the agency set-up to catch people in unexpected tough times, is letting too many people fall through the cracks.  ACC was originally established over 50 years ago to support people with a no-fault basis, but this is far from...

Auckland Central can have rapid public transport networks, safe streets for walking and cycling, ease of mobility for disabled folks and parents with prams, and good transport links to our stunning Hauraki Gulf Islands.  The best way to reduce congestion and support those few necessary car trips around our electorate is to provide better walking, cycling, and public transport options.  Recent projects like Te Wānanga on the waterfront and Quay St development are fantastic, but as your local MP I...

An Aotearoa powered by clean, affordable, renewable energy The Green Party will power our homes, whare, and communities with clean, renewable, and affordable energy. Power should be generated for the good of our climate and our communities. However, successive governments have designed an energy system that relies on fossil fuels and puts shareholder profit ahead of affordable household bills. To lower power bills and keep the climate healthy for future generations, the Green Party knows we must use more renewable...
