Green Party MPs Julie Anne Genter and James Shaw have celebrated their victory over New Zealand First in implementing rebates for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, saying their rivals "prevented" it from happening while they were in Government.

Earlier on Sunday, the Government announced its Clean Car Package which is set to drive down New Zealand's emissions. It includes a range of measures to help New Zealand meet its 2050 carbon neutral target.

Japan and Australia voiced "serious concerns" on Wednesday over reports of human rights abuses against Uyghur and other Muslim minorities in China's far western region of Xinjiang, but Beijing dismissed the remarks as a malicious smear.
