So let's talk about those ideologies, about those trade-offs, and those priorities. As the Greens, we have always been clear about our four core founding charter principles, that rest on the foundation of recognition of Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of this country. The first of our principles is ecological wisdom. That is recognition of the fact that resources are finite. Even those resources that do regenerate need time, and space, and, God forbid, some planning, in order to regenerate. The second of those principles is social responsibility. That is, in realising and grappling with the reality that we do have those limited resources from an already heavily-exploited planet, we must realise that those resources are to be fairly and justly shared in order to have a stable society. The third principle is that of appropriate decision-making. That is that decisions should be made with those who are directly impacted at the core of that decision making. The fourth principle is that of non-violence. As power-grabs, fights over resources, and callous wars with untold casualties unravel across our planet, we have to decide whether we want to stand for evolved conflict resolution, or to be complicit—let alone participate—in further unnecessary destruction and devastation.
