I have to say we do have a long journey in front of us, but Aotearoa is at last heading towards a future that is fairer, cleaner, and more prosperous, and all within the limits of our fragile planet. That is the vision that the Green Party was founded on some 30 years ago, a vision of thriving communities where everybody has the means the live in a warm, dry home; food that is healthy for us and healthy for the land that it is grown on; vibrant, flourishing ecosystems that underpin the kind of healthy environment that we all rely on; clean and healthy and swimmable rivers; new jobs and prosperity for our communities; and a sustainable, low-carbon economy. With a strong Green voice in Government today, more people up and down Aotearoa New Zealand can now make ends meet. Our communities are safer, they are cleaner, they are greener, and we are healing nature.
