How much support Groundswell has is debatable. Also, the Zero Carbon Bill was passed in parliament with near enough to unanimous support... https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/117244331/national-will-support-climate-change-zero-carbon-bill 2019 was a different time though and life's much harder now, with lots looking for someone to blame. Our farmers depend on exports though, and the sensible ones know practices have to change else their products will be rejected by the markets. Emissions are a factor in free-trade agreements now.

Also, I wouldn't rule out Labour just yet. Hipkins did quite well in the most recent leaders' debate... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAXkCQu_hhc The shouting over each other died down after a while. :)
