Greens demand Civil Defence Payment in Wellington
People are being evacuated. Homes are flooding. The Greens say the Government must activate Civil Defence payments now — no delays, no red tape.

People are being evacuated. Homes are flooding. The Greens say the Government must activate Civil Defence payments now — no delays, no red tape.

They say they’re investing in protection. The numbers say otherwise. Flood funding is down while the storms keep coming.

The Greens might finally have the economic vision New Zealand desperately needs. One built around energy independence, lower living costs and resilience. The problem is convincing voters to emotionally cross that political line in Election 2026.

The Greens aren’t just talking climate — they’re saying electrify everything or keep paying for global chaos at the pump and on your power bill.

They didn’t announce it. They didn’t consult. Now Te Tiriti obligations across 23 laws are being quietly downgraded — and Māori were never in the room.

Fuel crisis. Political shake-ups. Election 2026 looming. This week’s Te Kaupapa doesn’t hold back.

If Te Tiriti can be removed from education policy, what’s left is not neutral — it’s a choice about whose voice matters.

It’s hovering near 5%. That’s all it takes. The Opportunity Party could go from political footnote to kingmaker — if the ripple becomes a wave.

When a storm hits, “stay home” isn’t advice everyone can follow. So what happens next?

NZ First’s rise isn’t random — it’s fuelled by anger, algorithms and culture war politics. The real question is who it destroys next.
