Meeting our Paris commitments is written into our Free Trade Agreements with the European Union and the United Kingdom. Farmers and exporters rely on that market access, and they deserve a Foreign Minister who checks what withdrawal would put at risk before he promises it.

New Zealanders know our infrastructure is falling apart and they know that the super wealthy are not paying their fair share. They want a country that works for all of us, which is why they want a wealth tax.

New Zealand can no longer rely on fossil fuels. Today’s announcement that Methanex is closing proves that. From 2027, NZ’s largest gas producer will be closing its plant and selling off its gas contracts.

The Luxon Govt’s new funding for homelessness is a drop in the bucket to address the crisis in New Zealand. Community organisations are telling us that homelessness is at the highest level in New Zealand's history. To tackle the issue, we need more than a trickle of funding from this Govt.

The decision to provide Police with the power to issue move-on orders to homeless people as young as 14 will have disastrous consequences for our country and our most vulnerable. Luxon has chosen to make more people homeless, and now he’s criminalising them for being homeless.

The Coalition Government love giving the rich more money and aren’t shying away from corporate welfare. The common factor in cancelling policies like the Clean Car Discount and GIDI fund was that they were reducing emissions (and therefore our exposure to high oil prices.)

If Nicola Willis really didn’t want to hand out lots of money to rich people, why the billions in tax cuts for landlords? It’s an absolute rubbish excuse to cancel a policy that was demonstrably working to bring in EVs and low emissions vehicles.

The price of petrol is rising. Meanwhile, the Luxon Government has cancelled the Clean Car Discount and is potentially scrapping the Clean Car Standard, two options which would reduce our need for fuel in the long term.
Graphic with a dark green background featuring bold yellow and white text. At the top is a stylised G logo with a leaf. The text reads: ‘Last week: The Luxon Government considers scrapping the Clean Car Standard. This week: New Zealanders are bracing to pay over $3 per litre for petrol.’
