Green Party: From Te Tiriti to Thirst Trap Baddies

We’re continuing our Iwi Chairs series, sharing the kōrero held at the National Iwi Chairs Forum as Aotearoa heads towards the General Election. This time, S4TP sat down with Green Party Co-Leaders Chloe Swarbrick and Marama Davidson for a 30 minute kōrero on the future they see for our communities and the country. We hear their take on the 'thirst trap baddies' campaign, and tap into more serious discussions on Te Tiriti o Waitangi, economic development, social investment, housing, and getting more people engaged in the democratic process. Nothing was off the table. Our iwi leaders in the room asked about the laws they would repeal, the changes they want to see, and what they believe is needed to create better outcomes for whānau. With election season well underway, what stood out to you from this kōrero?
