Weekly Catchup w/ The Green Party's Ricardo Menendez-March: 27 August, 2025

Last week, Defence Minister Judith Collins and Foreign Minister Winston Peters revealed plans to purchase almost $3 billion worth of US aircraft to replace the Defence Force's ageing 757s.

The five MH-60R Seahawk helicopters involved in the purchase, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, would be procured directly through the United States' Foreign Military Sales programme.

This week, a legal challenge against the disestablishment of Te Aka Whai Ora, the Māori Health Authority, will be heard in the High Court in Wellington.

The case will be argued on the grounds that the government breached the Treaty of Waitangi and the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act when making the decision to disestablish the Māori Health Authority.

And the Green party recently launched a petition calling on the government to restore adequate funding to Polytechnics and to reverse cuts to vocational education and training.

State Housing Action Network on Combating Homelessness: Tuesday the 18th of February

Just under a week ago, the government announced an action plan to combat homelessness in Aotearoa. The plan - to pledged three hundred million dollars to provide an additional one thousand transitional housing units.

In the accompanying press release, it was explained that the Government was already carrying out “a public housing plan on a scale that has not been seen in New Zealand for 40 years”.

However, the announcement did not come without its criticisms & one of the issues that people found disappointing was no further funding for state housing, making this claim not credible.

So I got in touch with Michael Sharp, a barrister based in Mount Maunganui & member of the State Housing Action Network, a network of organisations interested in state housing provisions around Aotearoa. 

They believe the action plan fails to provide for increases in the state housing stock, which are essential for addressing the homelessness crisis. We start by addressing the recent announcement…
