The Greens are revealing parts of their alternative budget - set to cost about $8 billion over four years. It's calling for a Ministry of Green Works, a Government agency supporting sustainable infrastructure - including regional forestry. The party estimates it would create 40,000 jobs. Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick won't release more details - but says their costed independent budget will be released in about two weeks. "In about a fortnight's time, we'll be unveiling our Green budget, which will show people how we can have an economy that reduces the cost of living, improves quality of life and also reduces climate-changing emissions."

Auckland Pride has been quick to accuse Winston Peters of 'conspiratorial fear-mongering' following his criticisms of Green MP Benjamin Doyle. The Deputy Prime Minister has criticised historic Instagram posts by Doyle that included sexually suggestive captions. Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says Peters' constant attacks fan the flames of hate - with Doyle receiving death threats. Auckland Pride chair Bhen Goodsir says the language Doyle used was designed to connect with vulnerable communities. "As I understand, this was just one photo and a whole reel of photos that Benjamin posted - and their role was to connect with communities. So what we're seeing here is the intersection of their work, their identity as a queer person, and their role as someone who's part of a family."

Legislation that would allow the parliamentary term to be extended to four years looks likely to garner a measure of support from across the political aisle. Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick spoke to Alexa Cook.

When I saw Brian Tamaki on the news last night, he looked more pompous than ever. Pompous - not pious. Because he was the one who instructed his so-called followers to disrupt that drag artist's kids show and protest at the Auckland Rainbow Parade at the weekend. From the pictures I've seen, both of those events looked pretty ugly. His idea. Under his instructions. And I've had a gutsful of this guy. And we need to be condemning him in the strongest way possible. Because, it seems that's all we can do. Sadly. They were doing a particularly vigourous haka at the end of the parade. That wasn't free speech. That was hate. I saw one person saying on the news that Tamaki's Man Up crew is nothing more than a gang and should be treated that way. This person made particular mention of the gang patch legislation - saying that these guys ride around on motorbikes wearing patches, So why aren't they included in the gang patch ban? The organiser of the rainbow parade says there is a difference between freedom of speech and hate speech - and what we saw at the weekend was hate. And I completely agree. The parade organiser says it was clear that they had set-out to intimidate, to bully, and get their message of misinformation across. I agree they wanted to intimidate. And I agree they were a bunch of bullies. But I don't know about the misinformation bit, because you never get any information from these clowns (misinformation or otherwise). And, as per usual, we had weasel words from the Prime Minister when he was asked about it yesterday. He said he respects peoples right to free speech and he respects people's right to protest, but he said Tamaki's puppets “went too far”. You're damn right they went too far. Even by turning up, they went too far. What the PM should have done yesterday was condemn Brian Tamaki and his deluded followers in the strongest way possible. He should have done what Auckland mayor Wayne Brown did. He said it was nothing short of “thuggery”. Which is a great way to describe it. I thought Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick was a bit light on it when she said that the rainbow community needs love and support, not hateful rhetoric. I know what she's saying, but I want her to condemn these people too. Because, for me, this wasn't free speech - it was hate speech. And remember that this kind of thing isn't new for this Destiny lot. You'll remember they got all excited about an event at the library in christchurch that time when there was an event with people in drag reading stories to kids. And there's no stopping them. Last night Tamaki was saying that he doesn't think they've gone far enough yet. And he challenged the Prime Minister to get show some fortitude and to do a Donald Trump, and declare that only two genders will be recognised in New Zealand. Male and female. So these guys are dangerous. Not because of their mickey mouse beliefs, but because of the way they express them. If someone doesn't like the idea of same sex people being in relationships - they're allowed to feel that way. If someone thinks we should go back to the way it used to be, with just boys and girls and men and women, they can think that too. Good luck to them. But when people take it to the next level - like we saw at the weekend - that's not ok by me. I tell you what else isn't ok. The fact that this outfit is out there bullying people - dishing out their hatred - and because they call themselves a church, they enjoy all the tax benefits that come with that. A few years back, some Destiny Church charities were removed from the charities register for not filing their annual tax returns. Before that happened, more than 70,000 people signed a petition calling for Charities Services to strip the church of its tax-exempt status. I've had a look at the register today and the Destiny Church New Zealand Trust is still there. There are still some regional branches registered as a charity too. Which is a rort. And, until the government delivers on its promise to crackdown on so-called “charities” not paying tax, we just have to accept that it is what it is. But that doesn't mean we have to sit back and let these people do what they want. We can't make them pay tax. We can't tell them to take their patches off - because they're not a gang. But we can stand up and tell them to pull their heads in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Green Party has a new plan for tackling climate change, and they say it would cut five times more carbon emissions than the government is going to by 2030. Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Green Party reached a significant milestone this weekend, off the back of a tough year for the party. It's been a year full of controversy following the arrest of Golriz Ghahraman, the referral of Julie Anne Genter to the Privileges Committee and the Darleen Tana saga that ended with the Greens using the Waka-Jumping law to oust her. The Party's also had to deal with leadership changes following James Shaw's retirement - but the sudden death of Efeso Collins and co-leader Marama Davidson stepping aside following a breast cancer diagnosis have also impacted the Greens. NZ Herald political reporter Adam Pearse says co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick is determined to move forward - as the party has big plans for 2025.

In this second episode of our ongoing extinction series, we sit down with Jean-Thomas Tremblay and Steven Swarbrick to discuss their thought-provoking co-written manuscript, Negative Life: The Cinema of Extinction. Our conversation with them touches not only on the concrete topics of extinction and cinema, but also explores the theoretical potential of negations and contradictions as frameworks for understanding the relationship (or not) between humans and the more-than-human world.    For more from Jean-Thomas and Steven:   https://jeanthomastremblay.carrd.co/ https://www.stevenswarbrick.com/   ASLE EcoCast: If you have an idea for an episode, please submit your proposal here: https://forms.gle/Y1S1eP9yXxcNkgWHA   Twitter: @ASLE_EcoCast Lindsay Jolivette: @lin_jolivette Alex Tischer: @ak_tischer If you're enjoying the show, please consider subscribing, sharing, and writing reviews on your favorite podcast platform(s)!

In Negative Life: The Cinema of Extinction (Northwestern UP, 2024), Steven Swarbrick and Jean-Thomas Tremblay enact a dialogue between cinema, philosophy, and ecocriticism to tarry with the question of ecological catastrophe. Taking as one of their conceptual points of departure Freud's writing on negation, the authors elaborate a concept of ‘negative life' to contest current approaches to ecocriticism predicated upon ideas of entanglement, presence, and connection. In their book, Swarbrick and Tremblay engage critically with a broad body of films—including Kelly Reichardt, Julian Pölsler, Mahesh Mathai, and Paul Schrader—and a range of conceptual paradigms (from antisocial queer theory and psychoanalytic thought to object-oriented ontology and theories of melodrama) to unsettle many of ecocriticism's foundational assumptions. In this interview, we unpack some of the core themes and organising principles of the book and discuss the nature of collaborative writing.

The Greens are looking forward to moving ahead - as Darleen Tana's days in Parliament come to an end. The party today confirmed Speaker Gerry Brownlee has officially ousted Tana after delegates unanimously voted to put the issue to him. Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says she is grateful to draw a line under this. "It's been a several months-long process that has obviously ensued the likes of legal battles and otherwise - which I don't think has been a nice situation for anybody that's been involved."

The Green Party's membership has voted unanimously to kick Darleen Tana out of Parliament. Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick spoke to Corin Dann.

Chlöe Swarbrick is confident in the Greens' argument about proportionality of the House being affected by now independent MP Darleen Tana. Party delegates have voted to ask Speaker Gerry Brownlee to oust Tana from Parliament, invoking the waka-jumping law it has previously opposed. It's now down to Brownlee to decide if Tana's resignation from the party —but not Parliament— affects the proportionality of the House. The Green Party co-leader told Mike Hosking she's proud the 185 delegates representing thousands of members all came to the conclusion. She says it was a unanimous and resounding consensus, which demonstrates that the party's moving forward together on the issue. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A political analyst suggests the Greens are already confident of the outcome from tonight's meeting on Darleen Tana. More than 200 delegates will discuss whether to ask the Speaker to remove Tana from Parliament. The now-independent MP has lodged an appeal against a High Court decision supporting the party's disciplinary process against her. Victoria University's Bryce Edwards says this has dragged on and on for the Greens. "I think they should have stepped back from this months ago - it's already an embarrassment - but now they've gone down the path. I think Chlöe Swarbrick would really need to know she's got the backing." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Green Party has set a new date for a special meeting to decide whether to boot now-independent MP Darleen Tana from Parliament. The meeting was postponed for a hearing of Tana's legal claim she was pressured to resign, after an investigation found she likely knew of alleged migrant exploitation at her husband's business. Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says notice has been sent to branches of a meeting to be held on October 17. "I am incredibly confident in the wisdom of our party - and that's part of the reason that we've also set this date with the opportunity for our members to properly deliberate."

The Green Party is trying to find ways to grow for the future, while doing its best to leave this year's problems in the past.  That laundry list of challenges has been thoroughly aired - but the membership still faces a crucial question that goes to the heart of its values, and could yet prove a barrier to its ambitions.  In this week's Focus on Politics, Political Reporter Giles Dexter speaks with Chlöe Swarbrick after the Green Party's AGM about the challenge she gave members to go through some growing pains, and the ongoing fallout of the Darleen Tana party-hopping saga.

Climate, Darleen Tana and building a 'far larger' Green movement were on the agenda at the Green Party's annual AGM in Christchurch over the weekend. Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss

On today's episode, Northland's clinical director of rural hospitals says the government's financial crackdown is affecting frontline staffing, we hear from Dr Pragati Gautama as well as health Minister Dr Shane Reti, we also hear from Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick after the Green Party annual AGM in Christchurch over the weekend, Flying Nun founder Roger Shepherd discusses the legacy of the Chills founder Martin Phillipps, and we get the latest from Paris.

This has been the battle of the psycho babble and cliches. Parliament returned yesterday and with it, the return of Darleen Tana: political disgrace and reprobate. She was back to "do the mahi" whatever that means. She is not in a party and she doesn't have an electorate. Who is she "doing the mahi" for? Chlöe Swarbrick announced she was "incredibly frustrated". Not just frustrated, but "incredibly frustrated". So what is she going to do? My suspicion is nothing. I hope I am wrong. I wish I was wrong. I wish these people were a better selection of operators than they are. The ball is in the Green's court. They are the adults, the employers if you will. They are the ones who selected Tana, they are the ones who made a mistake, they are the ones who called for the report, they are the ones who found her guilty, at the very least, of being fraudulent in what she said she was and what the report outlined she really was. It is their job to fix it, for no other reason than I believe Chlöe when she says she wants to take the Greens to a new place. You are either naive to beat the band or genuine when you tell the world when you arrive as a new leader that you believe you can take the Greens and outshine the Labour Party for the vote on the left. If you mean it, you have to act like it. To this point, she hasn't and she isn't. Telling us how frustrated you are is child-like, it's petulant, it's baby politics and it's a word salad. As I suggested last week, my suspicion is Tana is wanting us to get bored and move on. That way she can vanish for a couple of years, collecting her wage for doing nothing. Chlöe hopes we get bored too because accountability doesn't appear to be her strong suit. So far my suspicion is, sadly, proving to be fairly accurate. None of this serves us well. Whether you have ever voted for the Greens or not, my expectation is that the country is led by professionals driven by high standards. In this case, it's less professional and more farce.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
