'People need to hear what we stand for': Greens co-leader unpacks State of the Planet speech

The Greens have expressed hope for a more sustainable future in their State of the Planet speech, delivered in Central Auckland.

Co-leader Mārama Davidson says she hopes voters understand the Party stands for supporting the wellbeing of the country and the environment.

Davidson says the Greens aim to reach out to people who are feeling 'disempowered' under new legislation.

"To say to the people who have seen the anti-smoking legislation get completely wound up, to say to the tens of thousands of people who want to protect our ecosystems from the fast-track submissions, to the rangatahi who are feeling absolutely punished instead of understood, to say to people - we are listening."
