The wealthiest 311 families in NZ own almost 7,000 properties. An average of 22.5 per family.
And just last week National received a single donation of half a million dollars.

Luxon just said in a media standup asking for votes for NZers to ‘not overthink it.’
We disagree. Think about it. Read party policies on climate, inequality, and nature. Find out who will really give NZers the most support with living costs.

The Green Party’s tax plan gives everyone earning under $125,000 *a bigger tax cut* than National’s plan.
That’s 95% of taxpayers.
And ours is fully costed & paid for by a wealth tax on 0.7% of NZers who can afford it.
Poverty is a political choice, & we're choosing to end it.

Four Aus banks made $180 *a second* after tax last year in NZ through no special or hard work of their own. A 10% tax on those windfall profits would raise over half a billion dollars and go a very long way to supporting people and the planet in flooding and cyclone recovery.

Yesterday afternoon the leader of the ACT Party 'joked' about bombing the Ministry of Pacific Peoples. This is completely unacceptable for anyone to say, ever, let alone an elected member of Parliament.

THANK YOU to everyone helping out on our biggest grassroots campaign ever.

They want political courage.

Like us, NZers will rightly be angry reading about the loss of people’s reproductive rights in the US.
It’s an outrage.
But we *must* stick together.
NZ’s own abortion protections are relatively recent.
Everyone should have the healthcare and support they need. Period.

So to recap:
Judith Collins- 'Madness to stop oil & gas exploration'
Maureen Pugh- 'Humans don't contribute to climate change'
Stuart Smith- 'Don't teach kids climate science'
Paul Goldsmith- 'I'm not the weatherman'
Andrew Bayly- 'Debate about man-made climate change unhelpful'
98

And here is *the moment* when Marama Davidson perfectly explained how Luxon could never control a coalition of Nats/ACT/NZFirst; and how the only sensible decision this year is a vote for the Green Party.

The visionless and harmful grab bag of policies in the govt’s 100-day plan does not represent our future.
This Govt will make life harder for thousands of people & roll back climate action.
They will be met with enormous opposition. The Green Party & our community are ready.

Here's the PER DAY PROFITS (after tax) banks are currently making in 2022:
ANZ $5.65 million

Instead of an 'engineered recession', how about we properly tax corporate greed to support ppl struggling?

Risks from long-COVID & the potential for new, more infectious variants hasn’t changed.
