The Green Party has issued its list of 30 candidates for the general election, featuring former diplomats and environmental scientists.
Co-leaders Metiria Turei and Dr Russel Norman fill the top two spots on the list, with five other current MPs who are standing again, also in the top eight.
Eugenie Sage, a former Canterbury Regional Council member, is the highest ranked of the new faces. She is number six on the list.
Ms Turei says the list is a good mix of experience and new energy and is proof that the Greens are a stable party.
She says the party is driven by big ideas which endure, rather than just big personalities who will come and go.
