The Greens say they want to make government fairer and more open to everyone. Their Governance Policy aims to create ways of making decisions that are accessible and fair, and that honour the Treaty of Waitangi. They also have a Human Rights Policy to make sure everyone can take part equally, and a Media Policy to support a strong, independent media so democracy works well.
“Our policy creates accessible, fair and inclusive governance that honours Te Tiriti o Waitangi.”
“Our policy safeguards and actively upholds everyone's rights so that everyone can participate equitably.”
“Our policy promotes a strong, diverse and independent media that contributes to the maintenance of effective democracy and to our social, cultural, economic and environmental wellbeing.”
