The party's been without a co-leader since Metiria Turei resigned in August last year.

Davidson says she was a social, environmental and economic activist for a long time before she was an MP.

She told Mike Hosking her priorities haven't changed.

"Those are the progressive causes that I am going to keep pushing, I am really proud of my work on those very progressive causes - you know homelessness, oil drilling, standing up for clean rivers."
