  1. The Greens are set to release their alternative emissions reduction plan tomorrow.

    But the headline today is Chlöe Swarbrick won’t commit to leading Greens after 2026.

    It was only ten months ago Chlöe pledged to overcome Labour as the voice on the left., now she is thinking of quitting.

    And decides to make that publicly known a day before their big policy announcement.

    Timing eh?

  3. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/535943/the-grim-picture-of-homelessness-for-nz-women
    …Census data reveals there are more homeless women than men, with more than 57,000 women without a home.
    Meanwhile, a new study by Ihi Research has also found that four out of five homeless women in Aotearoa are Māori, with some being as young as 15-years-old.
    Many of them have been in state care, experienced sexual abuse and also the loss of their babies being uplifted….

    Homeless women were “largely invisible”, wanting to stay off the streets and instead staying in “terrible living situations” such as abusive relationships.
    “It’s not just … people sleeping on the streets, it’s being in relationships that you have no choice – you can’t leave.”…

    The Auckland City Mission had more than 200 women aged over 55, waiting for social housing.
    “There’s just a huge demand … in that demographic – and growing.”…

    In the absence of middle class women putting time into helping all their sisters as equals, maybe the Greens could lead the way with some new moves that would be truly helpful and practical. If not – here’s one for transport and some shelter. Bikes would still be a good line Chloe. There is a pushbike made that has a stiff hood over the rider, more practical for all weathers. What about taking up that as a new line of green thinking that affects individuals everyday cares directly?
