James Shaw speaks to the media following his and Marama Davidson's reaffirmation as Green party co-leaders. “We must confront climate change with the urgency and the scale that it demands - and invest in action to protect our rivers, land, forests, beaches and oceans. These are voters who had considered voting Green, with many “on the fence” current Labour supporters. Davidson said they had Labour members coming to meetings interested in pushing for more Green influence. Shaw also said in his speech, focused on climate change and the environment, he believed a National-led government would be “beholden” to Act and they would together drag back climate progress 30 years.
