The Greens have released the Executive Summary of their report into Darleen Tana, and it's pretty clear in asserting that Tana had much more involvement with her husband's bike business than she otherwise claimed. The question now is whether or she's going to decide to stay in Parliament. Tana said in her interview with Maiki Sherman that she'd take a little bit of time before deciding whether to remain in parliament as an independent MP, but if she does decide to stay around, I think it's pretty clear the Greens have only one choice. If the party leaders believe in the integrity of the report - a report which took the best part of four months to produce - then I think they have little choice but to instigate the waka-jumping legislation which they so publicly despised, and expel Darlene Tana from Parliament. Let us not forget, the main reason the Greens opposed the waka-jumping legislation is not for situations like this. The main reason they opposed it was so that if an MP held a different position on a really important policy to that which was being whipped by their party, they could take a moral stand and dissent. This ain't that. This is not a dispute over policy. This is an MP whose colleagues they believe has not been truthful to the party. An MP who has brought the party and the caucus into disrepute. And while Darlene Tana might complain about the process of this investigation and some of the findings, her former party leader and caucus colleagues have been blunt. They want her out. This should have been a week when the Greens were laser-focused on the Government's climate plans. This week of all weeks should've been one where they represented their constituents in opposition. Instead, they're still answering questions about the character of MPs who were until very recently part of their caucus. The Greens have swallowed a rat in the past. After all, they voted to pass the waka-jumping bill into law. But I actually don't think many people would resent them if they swallowed another in this case. If Darlene Tana won't quit on her own accord, and they believe in the integrity of the report, the Greens should cop a few days of criticism for their hypocrisy, push her out, and move on.

In this week's edition of Midweek Mediawatch, Hayden Donnell talks to Mark Leishman about the first live TV leaders' debate of the election campaign and the sports analogy-filled post-match analysis.

Last night's leaders' debate on TV was a brilliant advertisement for the minor parties.  In fact, I reckon Labour and National could make some money out of it because, as far as I'm concerned, I thought it provided 90 minutes of reasons not to go with the traditional red and blue parties.  So what I reckon Chris Hipkins and Christopher Luxon should be doing today, is writing out some invoices and sending them to all the minor parties, because that kind of primetime TV advertising doesn't come cheap. The common consensus among the commentators seems to be that Christopher Luxon's performance was stronger than Labour leader Chris Hipkins'. It happens all the time - people chiming in with their thoughts on who “won”.  But I actually think neither of them won. It was the minor parties who won.   And as for the analysis after the debate. Man alive, if you stuck around for that, what about all the ridiculous sporting analogies?  We had former National and New Zealand First MP Tau Henare, former Labour leader David Cunliffe and TVNZ's deputy political editor Maiki Sherman. And all the two guys could bang on about was the All Blacks and the Warriors and the World Cup.  At one point, poor-old Maiki obviously felt she had no option but to go down the sporting analogy route. She said as much.   Because it seemed every time Tau Henare and David Cunliffe opened their mouths, they'd go on about it being “a bit like the Warriors”, or “Christopher Luxon was like France and Chris Hipkins was like the All Blacks…and, like the All Blacks, Hipkins needs to come back and show he's got more in the tank.”  I don't know about you. But when I sat there watching that, I thought to myself ‘if this is high quality political analysis, then God help us'.  So the sporting analogies have to go from the next debate. So too do some of the meaningless questions. I don't care what book Christopher Luxon is reading at the moment. I don't care how many times they've been into churches this year.   What I did want to know last night, though, is why Chris Hipkins - just hours before the debate - made that haphazard announcement that Labour was ditching its goal of reducing the prison population by 30 percent.  It happened yesterday afternoon and had some people speculating that it was a pre-emptive move ahead of the debate. A pre-emptive move that Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis didn't seem to even know about until after Chris Hipkins had announced it.  That's the stuff I wanted to hear about. But we didn't, of course, because these debates are carefully stage-managed and the topics up for discussion would have been settled-on weeks ago.  Which meant all it did, was reinforce the view some people have that our two main political parties are increasingly becoming one and the same.  Christopher Luxon said it himself - several times. It was something along the lines of “we both want the same things, but we've got different ideas on how to achieve them.”  The question there then is that, when it comes to voting, do we vote for outcomes or do we vote for methods of achieving those outcomes?  Hands down, we vote for outcomes. So if you've got the leaders of the two big political parties saying they want the same outcomes - then bring-in the minor parties. Because last night's debate showed us that the minor parties really are the only alternatives to what we have now.  Political commentator Matthew Hooton wrote a piece in the NZ Herald recently saying that voter confidence in what he calls Labour and National's “increasingly lazy, cynical and arrogant” duopoly in New Zealand politics has collapsed.  He says never before have Labour and National been rejected by so many voters at the same time.  And I reckon, based on what we saw in last night's TV debate, support for the purple vote is about to get even lower. And I'm in no doubt that, when it comes to picking a winner from last night, it was the minor parties. It wasn't Luxon and it wasn't Hipkins.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm disappointed that in 2021 women are still barred from Whaikōrero on the marae. It's 13 years since Helen Clark was reduced to tears over this and yet again we have another female leader of the opposition barred from speaking. Judith Collins has suggested this is sexism.Greens co leader Marama Davidson has hit back telling her she “does not have the cultural expertise.” Also, TVNZ's excellent political reporter Maiki Sherman has told Judith Collins it's not sexism, it's a cultural practice and it's not the place of Pākehā women to criticise.Now look, I totally appreciate where this practice might originate in tikanga Māori . One of my Māori tutors syas it developed as a practice during the days of inter-iwi warfare Because the marae was the place where visiting tribes were welcomed And women were kept behind the men, and away from the speaking in part to protect them should the Whaikōrero turn violent And of course iwi wanted to protect their women because they are important for the procreation of the iwi But, it's 2021, warfare is no longer a threat This is a really tricky debate for a lot of people: what's more important… protecting what individual cultures want to do or protecting women's claims to equal treatment? For me there's no debate Every culture must treat women as equal to men, and afford them the same rights in every aspect as they afford men.If we start making excuses for one culture's relegation of women, where do we end?  Do we excuse the Saudis and say it's OK that they ban women from marriage unless they gave the consent of their male guardians because that's their culture? Do we excuse Catholicism for demanding that young women aren't allowed contraceptives or abortions? I don't agree.  Women should be treated as equals to men by everyone, at all times. 

This week Political reporter Benedict Collins got more insults than answers from Winston Peters, revealing he was "at various times called 'sunshine', and an 'idiot' by our Deputy Prime Minister." Meanwhile, Maiki Sherman says it's "the nail in the coffin" for Jami-Lee Ross in Botany, as he and three others are charged by the Serious Fraud Office in National’s own donation saga, and we analyse the issues going into this year’s election.
