Welcome

Welcome to the Ilam Greens page. We hope we can have your Party Vote for the Greens in this year's General Election.

I'm Ken Graham and I'm standing for Parliament as the Green candidate for Ilam.

I was born and grew up in New Zealand, and have lived and worked in ten countries (NZ, Canada, USA, Thailand, Switzerland, UK, Bangladesh, Sweden, Jordan, Belgium).

I have had extensive professional experience in government, civil society, the United Nations, and academia. I am currently Senior Adjunct Fellow in the School of Law at Canterbury University, Senior Lecturer at Victoria University and Visiting Professor at the College of Europe.


I have served, in this country, on local school boards, national institutes and ministerial advisory committees.

I am married (to Marilyn Moir Graham) and have two adult sons and three young grand-daughters.

I am deeply concerned about the future of the planet, as a nurturing home for future generations.

In Parliament, I shall strive to ensure that New Zealand achieves two things:

- That New Zealand becomes a (genuinely) sustainable society; and

- That it acts as a (genuinely) responsible global citizen.

Among the links to the right, are my thoughts on how we can achieve these goals. I invite you to contact me to discuss these issues and policies. I am the Party's International Secretary, and you can contact me on:
