Restricting public investment in fossil fuel companies, allowing beneficiaries more part-time work and the creation of a new watchdog to oversee intelligence agencies - a new tranche of members bills are set to go before Parliament.
Four members' bills have been drawn from the ballot which decides which bills are considered by Parliament.
They include outgoing Green Party MP Russel Norman's Climate Change (Divestment from Fossil Fuels) Bill, which would direct the managers of public funds like the Superannuation Fund and the ACC Fund to not invest in companies directly involved in the fossil fuel trade.
Dr Norman, who last week announced he would shortly leave Parliament to take the reins at Greenpeace NZ, said that, with regard to the Superannuation Fund, only about 200 companies would be affected.
"This is an opportunity to join the world's largest pension fund - the Norwegian fund - and major private investors like the Rockefeller Fund, in a global movement to divest from fossil fuels."
