A former Green MP says he's baffled the party hasn't ruled out using waka-jumping laws against Darleen Tana. The party has Tana to resign as an MP, after receiving a report on her knowledge of alleged migrant exploitation at her husband's business. Tana has quit the Green Party, but says she doesn't accept the report findings. The Greens previously opposed laws that would now let them formally request Tana's removal from Parliament. Former MP Gareth Hughes says he'd be very surprised it they changed their stance. "It would be a huge departure for the Greens to use it, given their decades-long opposition to it under multiple leaders, multiple caucuses - they haven't used it in the past."

A former Green MP said unless Darleen Tana resigns as an MP - the Party could be embroiled in the saga dragging on for the rest of the parliamentary term. Darleen Tana has quit the party following the release of a report on allegations of migrant exploitation at her husband's business, but remains an MP. She's rejecting the report's findings, and hasn't said whether she'll stay in parliament. Former Green MP and political commentator Gareth Hughes spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.

That alignment means that you make progress more easily because you're focused on stuff that matters and that people care about.” - Gareth Hughes is the Business Services and ESG Director for Whistl If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they say, what is the road to sustainability paved with?
