James Shaw: Greens' co-leader plans to put his time into NZ's climate change response, not Wellington Central

Greens' co-leader James Shaw is planning to put his time into New Zealand's climate change response, not the Wellington Central electorate seat.

He's decided not to contest the seat that he's run in since 2011.

Instead he's nominated Wellington City Councillor Tamatha Paul for the role.

Shaw told Mike Hosking he still wants to continue as climate change minister.

He says the flooding in Auckland suggests that job should continue to scale up, so that's what he wants to focus on.
