Former Māori politician and scholar Metiria Turei discusses her new book which looks at the complexities of Te Tiriti issues.

Green Party delegates have voted to ask Speaker Gerry Brownlee to remove the now independent Darleen Tana from parliament. It's now down to Brownlee to decide if Tana's resignation from the party —but not Parliament— affects the proportionality of the House. Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls told Ryan Bridge the party was previously against the legislation even being in place. He says it's remarkable for as many delegates to come together and agree, and it draws a line under the situation. He said former co-leader Metiria Turei being involved was a surprise move, as even Chloe Swarbrick had no idea she would be contributing to the call.

Do you get the feeling the only moderately normal person in the Greens left the building a couple of weeks back, and he is sitting in his new corporate financing job feeling a new lease on life?  Surely as he read, as I did, the tale of Darleen Tana on full whack doing virtually nothing and his good mate Tory "let me bugger Wellington up" Whanau, he must be feeling just a bit guilty about hanging out with such a bunch of no-hopers.  This is not about politics. Politics is their wacky policies that bear no resemblance to the real world. Politics is about them not actually being a Green party, but more a collection of activists who want to control your life and thoughts.  No, this is about who basically they are as people. There is something not right about them.  For a comparatively small collection of people, too many of them are flaky and therefore in trouble and unfit to represent anyone at the highest level.  Metiria Turei was you first major calamity and so it has slowly, but surely, unravelled.  In the Tana case it is not just the questions around her behaviour and alleged treatment of people. It's the approach the party's leadership has taken to getting to the bottom of it.  This has dragged on for week after week after week.  We have rung them a myriad of times. We got as close to them saying "any day now" before, after several days, they reverted to "a few more weeks". A few more weeks has turned into many, many weeks.  What is the lawyer doing? How much is it costing? Have they found a treasure trove of skulduggery, because what else could take this long if there is nothing to see?  All the while Tana sits on our money doing diddly squat.  In the meantime, Tory Whanau has overseen the destruction of the city while breaking the rules having her dog in the office and while having a drinking problem that embarrassed her and shamed the council. Now she's not really that bothered with meetings on boards of assets that are worth quite a bit of money.  They don't care. They are not professional. They are not dedicated. They essentially take the piss and we pay for it.  They are not normal.  Explain to me, if you dare and if you support any of this, if you voted for this kind of ineptitude just what is it you see in them? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Metiria Turei joins Emile Donovan to share a whakataukī that resonates with her.

It's not altogether a surprise that James Shaw has quit as co-leader of the Green Party. It's pretty well known that there are factions in the Green Party that have wanted him to move on for a while now. There was a public attempt to remove him about a year and a half ago, and it while he won that- it always felt like it was only a temporary reprieve to get them through the election and safely out of Government. And then he would have to make way, probably for Chlöe Swarbrick. The good news for the Greens is that Chlöe isn't a bad heir to the throne, she is very popular and very capable- she could take them to even greater numbers. But he is still a loss to that party, because he was unique in the Greens in that he got on really well with business people. I often heard stories about various business groups having had some MPs from various parties come talk to them and everyone was impressed with James Shaw. It was not rare to hear that. And he should be proud of the shape of the party he's leaving behind. It's probably one of his most significant achievements as co-leader that the Green Party caucus is the biggest it's ever been. That was no small feat, given the unique tension between the climate warriors and the social justice warriors in the party. On top of that, they've faced some significant challenges- and they didn't end up doing as much damage as you'd think. Metiria Turei's benefit fraud admission, Shaw's own green school funding snafu. Even just being in Government, which has hurt every minor party that's ever done it- except the Greens, because they came out with a bigger caucus. I worry a little bit that without him, the Greens will become less of an environment party and more of a social justice, anti-capitalism party and that they drag a future Labour-led Government further down that track. So maybe in the end he's not just a loss for the Greens, but actually a loss for all of us. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With a week and a day to go voting, you would have to say the biggest disappointment of this campaign is Act. We have got a couple of polls out today: The Taxpayers Union Curia poll and the Talbot Mills research poll both have Act in the single digits for the first time in their polling since April. ACT has been sliding this entire campaign and a lot of it will be because of David Seymour's performance. In the debate last night, and in the TV3 minor leaders debate 2 weeks ago he was not flash.  He was like a robot. He was too serious.   The fighting with Winston is getting a little silly and he just over-talked. He was like AI: you type in a question, hit enter, and it just keeps going for minutes on end  And it's a bummer because this is not the David Seymour that we know. We got used to the guy with the sense of humour, who said the French the coq, who twerked on TV against all advice, who was basically the leader of the opposition for most of the last three years. Where's that guy gone?  I think he's lost his confidence. Political insiders know that he lost his star staff member, his media advisor earlier this year and I think we expected ACT to sort of stumble a bit after that but not this much.  On the polls out today, ACT has lost as many as a third of its voters. I can't think of a bigger collapse in a vote during a campaign since Metiria Turei blew up the Greens with her benefit fraud admission  But for the Greens, at least you could blame it on one single bad decision.  For ACT, it's baffling, and it's more like they've run out of steam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Shaw is best known to many as the Climate Change Minister and the co-leader of the Green Party - but he can't use that title at the moment, after a vote from Green Party delegates saw the position opened up. While Shaw is the only candidate going for the position, it has surprised many outside of the Greens. In his first long-form interview about the challenge, James Shaw joins Thomas to discuss what happened and how he felt about it, what he's taken away from the vote, the tricky balance the Greens face being part of Government, and shares his thoughts on the circumstances that saw his former co-leader Metiria Turei leave politics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a cold week in Wellington as the Prime Minister froze MP’s pay. We head back to 1970 when a 31% pay rise was proposed for MPs. This week Maiki Sherman & Mei Heron have been at the justice summit; they discuss how it went and the Green Party AGM was also held. We discuss how they’ve changed in the year since Metiria Turei’s admission. Produced by Adam Simpson Engineered by Brian holloway Camera by Scarlett Wild Research by Liz Feary A TVNZ Production

Hey! Here are the links to Stephanie Rodgers and Leilani Momoisea on Metiria Turei, whose story is hard to see as anything other than an indictment of so many of this country's attitudes.  Also, hey, nuclear war. In other news, a dude from Google puts the man in manifesto. Te TOP launch their bad campaign which is bad and they are bad for doing it. And in this time of uncertain leadership, can Mike Hosking reunite the nation? This was recorded Saturday 12th NZ time so prior to the murder in Charlottesville - yet another event against which have a few political laffs feel so inadequate.

In this week's Caucus, the team discuss the Green Party strategy that may have (inadvertently) saved Labour. Was it OK to put Metiria Turei under such scrutiny? What next for the Greens? 

Stop the election bus for just one second, please. Toby Manhire, Annabelle Lee and Ben Thomas have new Gone By Lunchtime podcast and it will probably be overtaken by events any moment.Two third-term Green MPs have in effect jumped ship, saying Metiria Turei is not fit to lead the party. Will that torpedo the party, will it help or hinder a Labour Party re-energised by the Jacinda miracle? What about Bill English's mysterious deleted texts?

In the fourth episode of Caucus, Guyon Espiner, Lisa Owen and Tim Watkin discuss Bill English's Epsom and Ohariu urges, whether the Greens are losing control, the link between New Zealand First's vote and immigration, plus the Perry incomes report.

Hey! It's a politics bonanza with the Greens' conference managing to outshine New Zealand First's one to the point we forgot to even mention it here. Metiria Turei's shock admission that she found it necessary to lie to Work and Income in order to avoid depriving her child came as a surprise to literally zero people familiar with our welfare system. National, unable to really criticise people not working for a living or claiming housing expenses, left it to proxy rules-hardout David Seymour to attack. Also other policies recently announced by Labour and the Greens would slowly begin to un-munt the nation, and find support in unusual corners. The odd politics of race and empire held by cardigan centrists gets a road-test, with darling Macron dropping some clangers. Radiohead shrug off the BDS movement's call to stand up, in one of the more shrugsome episodes in the band's history.
