    30 November 2018 Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern Prime Minister Parliament Buildings Wellington 6160 E te rangatira, tēnā koe Urgent action required on drugs New Zealand urgently needs to change the way it deals with drug issues. The problems we are faced with today are not going to be solved by doing the same old things. Like you, we think New Zealand’s drug problem should be treated as a health issue. But with 80 percent of government spending on drugs going to law enforcement, courts and prisons, we’re not even close to taking a balanced approach. Due to chronic underfunding, our health services struggle to help even those at the most acute end of the spectrum. Many miss out on getting help, or have to wait months for treatment. Funding for interventions for those with less serious addiction issues is even more dire. A range of responses to alcohol and other drug harm are required to meet the needs of New Zealanders, including early intervention, prevention, harm reduction, and low-threshold treatment options such as peer support. All of these are underfunded, without exception. We are keen to help you set things right. We therefore ask that you: 1. Respond quickly and comprehensively to the findings of the Mental Health and Addictions Inquiry. Tinkering around the edges of the system will not provide long-lasting solutions. 2. Commit to doubling investment in alcohol and other drug-related prevention, harm reduction and treatment. We urge you to budget for new investment of at least $150 million per year from 2019.

    I see red, I see red, I see red Election 2020 at a glance “We will govern for all New Zealanders” Jacinda Ardern A year full of unprecedented events has delivered one more: for the first time since MMP was introduced in 1996, one party has won a Parliamentary majority. Labour was expected to dominate, but few, even in Labour, would have predicted the extent of the red-wash. Once the special votes are counted Labour is expected to have the third largest vote in its history, and the largest since 1946. Jacinda Ardern and Labour can govern alone for the next three years. Anyone worried that the Greens will hold a disproportionate sway can rest easy. This is going to be a Labour Government led by a careful thinker who wants a third term. Labour’s mandate Last night’s election result was a ringing endorsement of Labour’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. In some ways it is a vote of thanks but also a show of trust in Jacinda Ardern’s ability to lead through tough and testing times. With a tick over 49 percent of the vote (and expected to lift one or two percent more once special votes are counted) Labour now has a massive mandate from 1- I see red, I see red, I see red the New Zealand public. It also has a herculean task to manage the still unpredictable health issues in front of it and no minor parties to blame for lack of related to the pandemic. At the same time, on pace or delivery.

Originally planned for 19 September, the election was postponed due to Covid-19. As well as electing Members of Parliament, New Zealand’s electorate voted on two referendums: one to decriminalise the recreational use of marijuana; the other to allow some terminally ill people to request assisted dying. The election was commonly dubbed the “Covid election”, with the coronavirus pandemic the main issue for voters throughout the campaign. Jacinda Ardern, the incumbent Prime Minister from the Labour Party, had been widely praised for her handling of the pandemic and the “hard and early” plan introduced by her Government in the early stages. She led in the polls throughout the campaign. Preliminary results from the election show Ms Ardern won a landslide victory, securing 49.1 per cent of the votes and a projected 64 seats in the new (53rd) Parliament: a rare outright parliamentary majority.

  • Green's Health Research Policies
    Green’s health research policies Social media release 16th September 2020 New Zealanders for Health Research (NZHR) has written to all current parliamentary parties, as set out below, pointing out both the current level of government underinvestment in health research and the absence of any recommendations in the Health and Disability System Report for embedding health research as an essential component of the health system. The Green Party’s response, received today, is as follows: “On behalf of the Hon. Julie Anne Genter, Green Party spokesperson for Health, please find a response to your request. Increasing government investment in health research: The Green Party supports increased investment in health research. In particular, we’d like to see research investment directed toward Māori and Pacifika health issues to address the continuing disparities in the standards of health between different ethnic groups in Aotearoa. Additional funding for research into the changed pattern of health and disease associated with climate change will also be important in assisting low income and other vulnerable sectors of society. Including health research within the health system as a key enabler of improved health outcomes: COVID-19 has shown us that strong health services are critical. We believe health care must be available at the earliest stage possible to ensure the best possible health outcomes, quality of life and cost effectiveness. Decisions about health services should be based on the strongest possible evidence. To achieve this, the Green
