Our policies

We will balance the ever-increasing demand for more health expenditure and better healthcare for New Zealanders by emphasising individual-led healthcare and cutting waste. We will work to:

• Accelerate the current slow progress to create an e-health environment to enhance the quality and safety of health services.
• Provide all New Zealanders with an electronic personal health record that they own, control, and can choose to share with caregivers, family members and providers.
• Cut waiting lists by improving operations at a whole-of-system level, and eliminating waste.

We recognise that current approaches to cannabis do not work. We will promote an evidence-based approach to cannabis law reform and treat cannabis use as a health issue instead of a criminal issue. We will work to:

• Legalise medical use of cannabis and set up a licensing system to regulate and administer the cultivation of natural cannabis for medical use.
• Decriminalise personal use of cannabis so that possession and cultivation of cannabis for personal use will no longer carry a criminal penalty.
• Develop and promote a model for regulating the legal production and distribution of cannabis for personal use to enable the taxation of cannabis and the monitoring of its supply.

We will implement a practical, win-win solution to feed all New Zealanders that both decreases the welfare burden and saves businesses money. We will:

• Follow the lead of countries that have required all supermarket surplus food stock - usually stored in dumpsters then shipped to waste refuse centres - be redirected to food banks for distribution to those in need.

We believe in a fair, restorative, balanced and solutions-focussed system of justice for New Zealand. We will work to:

• Increase the use of non-custodial, rehabilitative and restorative approaches to overcoming crime in the community, through a series of actions based on international evidence and best practice.
• Improve prison systems and programmes so that, when released, prisoners will have access to jobs, education, housing and other services, and will be less likely to re-offend.
• Investigate the procedures used in sexual assault cases.

We believe that Cantabrians must have the opportunity to have their voices heard in the rebuilding of Christchurch and that their democratic rights must be restored. We will:

• Advocate strongly for transparency and accountability from all institutions and organisations involved in the city rebuild.
• Strengthen democratic governance in Christchurch by reinstating a democratically elected Environment Canterbury council.
• Support the continued development of Christchurch’s tech sector, including the establishment and development of tech hubs such as EPIC, and direct a portion of the already-committed central government funding to rebuilding Christchurch as a world-leading smart city.
