James Shaw

A shellshocked James Shaw has yet to decide whether he will fight to stay on. Thirty-two out of 107 delegates voted at the party's online annual general meeting ...

"This is a temporary blip. "I'm simply here to support the work that James has done to date... I've got to work through a few things," Shaw said. "I certainly wasn't expecting this," Davidson said. But I do want to take some soundings just to get a proper sense check." "It is hard when there is a group that's organising against you.

It's got to be different from a middle-class, middle-age party just propping up the Labour government." And so that's really my one hesitation," he said. He confirmed the prime minister has kept him on as Climate Change Minister.

A delegate said the vote was the culmination of growing member dissatisfaction with the current co-leadership - particularly on climate issues.

They work for you, not the parties or people in power. Whatever your politics, we can all agree: New Zealand is better off when Kiwis are well-informed. He said while he was “inclined” to stand again for the co-leadership, he wanted to take soundings among the caucus and wider party before making a final decision.

Instead, the Greens should be the strongest and most vocal party on climate change, and call the Labour party to account, she believed. Shaw could put his name forward again as a contender for the role when the party votes to fill the position within five weeks, but yesterday said he would need to consider that.

Catherine Delahunty believes that dissatisfaction with Shaw may stem from his focus on consensus within Parliament in his role as Climate Change Minister.

James Shaw is currently considering whether he will run to be Green's co-leader again after not being re-elected. So what's going on?

In May, the Green Party changed its constitution and now no longer requires that one of its co-leaders be male. Shaw will consider his position over the coming week and announce whether he plans to recontest the leadership. However, on all public and private polls the Green Party will be crucial if Labour is to form Government at the next election. In addition, Shaw was considered to be a very good minister for climate change and Jacinda Ardern wanted to keep him on. Labour had and has the numbers to govern without them, but wanted to keep them in the tent after the 2020 election, with an eye to the fact that the party would almost certainly be needed in 2023. The Greens are able to oppose the Government on any matters outside those portfolios, and both Shaw and Davidson frequently point out where they would have gone further, if it were only up to them.

Parts of the party opposed to Shaw's leadership managed to organise a crucial 25 per cent of delegates at the party's AGM to vote in favour of reopening nominations for his position. Each year the Greens hold a vote to reconfirm their co-leaders for another year.

She added: "We should not be failing on climate, we should not be having increasing emissions, we should not be an international embarrassment, right, with a Green minister. Do they want to stay on this very feeble course that they're on at the moment? The climate change agreement Shaw had struck was "feeble", she said.

Sue Bradford said the "dissatisfaction" towards Shaw has been growing for some years.

The Green Party is at war tonight over whether James Shaw should remain a co-leader alongside Marama Davidson or make way for a fresh new face.

They work for you, not the parties or people in power. “I am aware of the process kicked off by the Green Party at their conference,” the prime minister said.

Whatever your politics, we can all agree: New Zealand is better off when Kiwis are well-informed. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has given climate minister – and erstwhile Green co-leader – James Shaw full-throated support to remain in her ministry, regardless of whether he is reinstated or chooses to run as the minor party’s co-leader.

James Shaw says he will contest the Green Party's co-leadership after being ousted from the role, he tells RNZ's Morning Report.

"The climate crisis is unabated and we have a lot more work to do as a country there. "We were embarrassed at COP this year, it's not looking good. That is the pace at which government changes." "James is a good person for the Labour Party because he's ... taking small steps with them" - Former Green Party MP Catherine Delahunty Swarbrick has not said whether she will put her name forward. Co-leader Marama Davidson was reconfirmed by delegates.

The Green MP is going to try and get over the 75% support threshold required to become one the party's co-leaders again.

“Being the co-leader of the Green party is not the only way to make a contribution. They work for you, not the parties or people in power. And as long as those kinds of challenges are there, they need the Green Party more than ever.” "The Green Party comes from a very strong activist base, right.

"I'm not done," the climate change minister said on Monday morning.

We have a threshold that is coming at us rapidly and we need to be doing something about it,” he said. Just last year Shaw faced a similar leadership challenge with one party member putting in an early nomination against him resulting in the pair going head to head at the annual conference. Party members voted to re-open nominations against Shaw on Saturday at the Green's annual general meeting on Saturday.
