National Party

Agree

Yes

The National Party of New Zealand, while traditionally center-right and focusing on economic growth and fiscal responsibility, has shown interest in sustainability and environmental issues when they align with economic benefits and efficiency. Investing in programs to reduce food waste could be seen as aligning with these interests by reducing costs and improving sustainability. However, their support might be conditional on the programs demonstrating clear economic benefits and efficiency improvements. Historically, the party has supported environmental initiatives that also support economic growth, such as their support for the Predator Free 2050 initiative, which aims to protect native wildlife but also has potential long-term economic benefits through conservation tourism and agriculture.

Disagree

No

The National Party is less likely to support government investment in programs that do not have clear, immediate economic benefits or that might increase government spending without demonstrating fiscal responsibility. Their focus tends to be on policies that stimulate economic growth, reduce taxes, and decrease government spending. However, outright opposition to investing in programs to reduce food waste is unlikely, as the party also recognizes the importance of sustainability and efficient resource use. Their opposition would more likely stem from concerns about the cost-effectiveness and implementation of such programs rather than the principle of reducing food waste itself.
