Green Party announces coalition negotiating teamGETTY IMAGES Green Party leader James Shaw says his party can work with Peters but they are unlikely to support a Labour-NZ First government from the sidelines. The Green Party's coalition negotiation team includes leader James Shaw and four other senior party staff and MPs. Shaw has announced party "musterer" and MP Eugenie Sage, acting chief of staff Tory Whanau, party co-convenor Debs Martin, and party campaign committee member Andrew Campbell, will join him in coalition talks with other parties. After negotiation talks, the Green Party would have to get the support of 75 per cent of its members at a special meeting to officially form a coalition. "We also know that New Zealanders want these negotiations to be undertaken professionally and promptly; the Green Party will honour that."
