Hayley Holt and Green co-leader and MP James Shaw of in Queenstown. Photo: SuppliedTV presenter and sportswoman Hayley Holt will stand for the Green Party at next year's general election. Ms Holt told the Herald she had always voted Green and became a member earlier this year because of her interest in environmental issues, in particular climate change. The Greens' policies on combating inequality and climate change meant the party was "a natural fit" for her, she said. Ms Holt's chances of getting into Parliament will depend on her list placing, which is decided by party members.
