This livestream is now over.

Green Party co-leader James Shaw will address reporters following backlash over his decision to grant $11 million to a private environmental school in Taranaki.

Shaw advocated for the funding as a "shovel-ready project" in his role as Associate Finance Minister but has been accused of "rank hypocrisy" by National as the funding is at odds with the Green Party's policy to phase out funding for private schools.
