The Greens believe that all New Zealanders deserve a home—and by that, I don't just mean four walls and a roof over your head; it is more than just a warm, dry, stable place to rest your head. Home is somewhere where you can put down your roots, where you can create your history. Home is where you can walk or cycle through the streets in safety any time of the day because you know your neighbours, because everybody has enough to get by, and because there is an unashamedly proud, humble, and shared sense of community. Home is enough shared kai for everyone, a space to test ideas and to communicate difference of opinion respectfully. Home is where you build opportunities on a solid foundation of belonging. It is where you raise and educate your kids. It is the trees that you point out as have being yay high when you were a kid, that have grown as you have. It is the soundtrack of native birds—our birds that don't exist anywhere else in the world—that emphasise the beauty of quiet moments. Home is the legacy that we create to hand down to the next generation. Our tamariki and their tamariki are entitled to clean water, to fresh air, to a stable climate, and to locally produced food, as much as they will eventually be entitled to grandma's earrings.
