FTMP spent several hours of the afternoon door knocking in the Auckland suburb of Mt Eden. A few select interactions are below.

FTMP: "Kia ora, I'm forgottomentionpeter, your local MP, I'm out here campaigning for the Green Party and I'm wondering if you're planning on voting tomorrow?"

Derek: "I was but I'm not all that sure about which party I want to vote for. The biggest problem I've got right now is with this bloody car."

FTMP: "Well transport is actually one of the Greens' big priorities. We've got several policies to help people replace their old cars with newer, safer, cleaner cars and we plan to make public transport free across the entire country."

Derek: "You know that free public transport idea sounds pretty good. I'd take the bus more often, but it's more expensive than the car. I'd love to get a new car but I don't think even with your plans I'll be able to afford it."

FTMP: "Well with our cash for cars policy, you can trade in your old car and the government will help you with the difference between that and a new EV."

Derek: "That's bloody brilliant that is, I'll be sure to vote for you lads tomorrow!"

Eric: "I just want to know which party has the best plans to halt climate change."

FTMP: "The Greens have a number of ambitious plans to fight climate change. We'll get Aotearoa to 100% renewable electricity generation by 2025. Here in Tāmaki Makaurau the majority of our emissions come from transport so to tackle that we're going to make public transport free and build more rapid transit around the city. And we're also making it easier to buy an EV, which are cheaper to run and better for the environment."

Eric: "Sounds like you really know what you're doing, huh."

FTMP: "I certainly hope so."

FTMP: "Kia ora!"

Ro-derick: "Hey you're that MP guy."

FTMP: "That I am."

Ro-derick: "I've seen you guys on the telly always talking about 'if we're reelected'. If you've got such great plans, why haven't you done them already?"

FTMP: "In this last term we came into government very late in the term. We had just enough time to pass a budget, which the previous government completely failed to do. If we're reelected to a full term we'll have plenty of time to get a lot more things done."

Ro-derick: "That seems quite reasonable actually. I'm glad we've got you guys in power now, I don't like the sound of a government that can't get things done."
