The Greens want the government to build a large number of public houses so everyone has a safe, warm home. They want to end homelessness by putting more support into communities. They also want to make renting fairer by stopping no-reason evictions, slowing rent increases, and lifting the quality of rental homes.
“Everybody deserves an affordable, healthy place to call home, whether you rent or own.”
“public housing is the best way to make sure everybody has a safe, accessible, warm home; we've done it before in Aotearoa and can do it again”
“restore and strengthen renters' rights: ending no-cause evictions, stabilising rent increases, improving rental quality, and making renters' rights fairer.”

The Green Party proposes six revenue measures and an income tax cut. A 2.5 percent annual tax on net assets over $10 million and a 33 percent tax on inheritances and gifts received over $1 million; a higher company rate for large firms, a levy on the big banks, and enforcement of withholding tax on profits sent offshore; and reversal of the landlord interest deduction and the brightline change. Income tax is cut, with the first $10,000 tax-free and a new 45 percent rate over $160,000.
