The GREENs are always light-years ahead of the other political parties in their thinking.
Even Gerry Brownlie admitted that fact at Rod Donald's funeral when he said that ideas Rod had pushed a decade before that on behalf of GREEN-thinking politicians and activists, and which were regarded back then as being revolutionary and subversive, were now commonplace political ideas accepted by the mainstream political parties.
In other words, the GREENs lead and other political parties eventually copy their ideas and follow. Take Sue Bradford's bill repealing of a tiny section of the Crimes Act....mainstream politicians frothed at the mouth over it, yet ALL MPs from both Labour AND National supported it when it came time to vote on the bill in Parliament's debating chamber. A radical GREENs-inspired idea that became mainstream!
