Ngāti Toa Rangatira has drawn a line in the sand today with a peaceful hīkoi to stand against the Fast-Track Approvals Bill, and we stand with them!

The fast-track bill undermines te tiriti, democracy and is a #WarOnNature .

Of course this coalition Government thinks it’s okay to allow representatives of Myanmar’s military junta into NZ. Compromising NZ’s long held stance on this illegal and cruel regime, and our diplomatic reputation for blood money is so on brand. rnz.co.nz/news/political…

How about building our public service and a future that benefits all, rather than giving tax cuts to the rich?

UNRWA is a lifeline of hope, providing education for more than half a million students, including these girls I met in Jordan last week.

UNRWA must be allowed to continue providing vital services to keep hope flowing.

.Green Party NZ welcome Labour to the desperately long overdue conversation on progressive tax reform. We’ve got mountains of reports, including those commissioned but the former Govt, about how desperately unfair our tax system is. What we need is the political willpower to fix it.

Government’s reckless MPI cuts pose huge risk to primary sector exports.

Children are starving to death in Gaza and Congress is going to make it worse. A ceasefire with an expiration date is just a pause in this genocide. We need a lasting ceasefire now.

“Our kids have to navigate poverty every single day. Here at school they don’t have to worry about that stuff. Because if the pukus are satisfied they can focus on the important thing, which is learning.”

Moe mai rā Rod Oram, intellectual giant of progressive civil society; kind, patient and generous human to all. The climate movement has lost a champion far too soon. The Green Party sends our deep condolences and love to his whānau, friends and community at this tragic time.

Rod Oram was one of the most decent, committed people I’ve ever met. I’m devastated for his wife, Lynn, and their family. He’s a huge loss to journalism and to the natural world he believed so strongly we are a part of and depend on.

Rod Oram was a thoughtful, curious, kind, and compassionate person. One of the best. I am heartbroken for his family and for all of us.

Yesterday, disabled people, whānau and service providers learned that funding for hugely important parts of disability care, support and equipment is being cut immediately.

Not satisfied with taking lunches from the mouthes of hungry children, our entitled government are now looking to change speed limits in front of schools.

Is shaving a few seconds off your commute really worth putting our kids' lifes at extra risk?
