The Green Party says other parties should get behind a wealth tax after a new Ipsos survey shows almost two-thirds of New Zealanders back the party's policy.

The Green Party says households are now paying, through higher mortgages, for this Government's decisions to increase our country's exposure to imported fossil fuel inflation.

While the National Party talks about fiscal responsibility, their actions continue to heap more costs and produce less benefits for New Zealanders, says the Green Party.

49,000 more New Zealanders are out of work than when this Government took office, according to figures released by Stats NZ this morning showing 171,000 people unemployed and actively looking for work.

Exposure to volatile fossil fuels has driven inflation to its highest level in two years, piling more pressure on New Zealanders' cost of living, says the Green Party. 

The Green Party has announced their 2026 tax policy ‘a tax system for all of us’ today.

The Green Party has written to the National and Labour finance spokespeople urging support for an independent Parliamentary Budget Office to cost political commitments and lift the standard of public debate. 

The richest 150 New Zealand individuals and family dynasties now own as much between them as half of the country, the Green Party says.
