Chloe Swarbrick is raring to go in her new role as Green Party co-leader.

She is taking over the reins from James Shaw - and will share the party's co-leadership with Marama Davidson.

Swarbrick says her process will be about mobilising people and communities to understand their power to make change.

She told Mike Hosking that the Government is basically pulling from the same playbook as it was in 1984.

Swarbrick says we're confronted with the climate crisis and the greatest rates of wealth inequality.

She says the party's immediate focus will be on the Government's harmful environmental policies and punching down on beneficiaries.
