The Green Party has been left wondering if the Government signed off for the summer break before putting in place a COVID plan. 

The Green Party welcomes a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic – but is disappointed with the narrow scope.

Winding down COVID powers does nothing to change the fact that stronger public health measures are needed to protect our immunocompromised and disabled whānau. 

Strong public health measures are more vital than ever, the Green Party says as the Government removes many longstanding COVID-19 restrictions. 

COVID-19 is here to stay and so the Government needs to put in place long-term protection measures, including mandatory ventilation standards, the Green Party says.

The Green Party has made the decision to move its 2022 AGM online. Members of the party will not be gathering in Christchurch this weekend.

Following pressure from the Green Party, the Government has announced that medical masks will be available free for everyone, with N95 masks free for those most at-risk.

The Green Party is once again calling on the Government to supply free masks to everyone. 

Political pressure from the Green Party has pushed the Government to supply free masks to kids and teachers in schools across Aotearoa New Zealand.

The Green Party says the removal of pre-departure testing for arrivals into New Zealand means the Government must step up domestic measures to protect communities most at risk.
