Are you sure National has been currently fit to govern the country? In my opinion, I think that the Green party would be the best choice as their policies will improve and do good to New Zealand. Three of their great policies are: the decision to make public transport free for under 19s and another is for the tertiary fees, the promise to reduce tertiary education fees gradually untill it’s free and extending the age of free GP visits to 17 year olds. The first policy I will explain is the decision to make public transport free for under 19s.
Green has a plan to make public transport free for under 19s and free during off-peak times for students and apprentices. Everyone under the age of 19 would be able to get a free “Green” card which would give them access to free bus rides, train rides and ferries. This would be a good idea because this would reduce the traffic congestion around the streets and reduce pollution as traffic is a very big problem in some cities in New Zealand. Furthermore, this would also vastly reduce the amount of accidents caused on the streets by the youth of New Zealand. Transport isn’t the only issue for the youth of New Zealand, another is health.
The Green party wants to extend free doctor visits to people under the age of 18. Green believes that the health of the youth has been lowering and by extending the free health checkup ages from 0-12 to 0-17, it should increase health outcomes for some people. This is a good policy because this would persuade more teenagers to go to the gp to get checkups as it would be free. Secondly, this would be a good policy because this would increase the general wellbeing of the children in New Zealand. Aside from health, education is another important aspect.
The Green party believes that we should reduce tertiary fees until tertiary education is free. Green believes that Tertiary Education benefits both the community and students and by lowering the costs it would help both the economically and social wellbeing of New Zealand. They would do this progressively over the course of decades. I believe this is a good policy because it would make University and other tertiary education more accessible to the public. Doing this would also help massively with our job market and in the areas where our job shortages are. A policy about education that I disagree with is the decision to abolish National Standards.
Labour’s idea to abolish National Standards. Labour believes that each student has his/her own strengths and weaknesses and that the current system is holding back the student. They would get rid of it and come up with a new system with experts. I disagree with this because by abolishing the national standards, it is getting rid of goals to try and achieve. Another reason is that it is getting rid of a big part of a student’s education and a school’s system and by abolishing it, it would force the schools and students to adapt. Let me summarise why Green is the best party.
Those three policies and many more are the reasons I think Green should be the leading party of New Zealand instead of parties like National and Labour. Green’s policies in my opinion are the strongest in the youth of New Zealand and it’s environment. I have talked about the three policies that Green has made, the first being free transport for under 19s, the second about free tertiary fees and the last about free GP visits and I policy I disagree with. So are you sure you want to vote for National now?
