The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand is driven by people who know that protecting the planet and supporting communities go hand in hand. The party was formed in 1990 and believes government must do more to protect the planet, honoring the thousands of years of traditional and local knowledge to support a safe climate and healthy communities. The Income Support Policy promotes income support to eliminate poverty where benefits should be enough to meet people’s basic needs and the state would work towards a Universal Basic Income.
