The Green Party has laid out its vision for the next government.

It launched its election manifesto yesterday, including a plan to end poverty, guarantee a warm home for all, and take strong climate action.

There's also a big focus on children, culture, inclusivity, and drug law reforms.

Co-leader, James Shaw told Mike Hosking that the current Government hasn't always performed perfectly, but has handled crisis well.

He says it's a tough job and every Government has moments of missteps and errors, and the circumstances are challenging right now.
