    Interesting to know how long she can sit in parliament doing nothing while being paid by us . 2.5 more years ? That's what I like the greens and the like in parliamentary, so driven by their consideration of those that elected them, or off the list as the case may be.
    How pure trash ends up on a party lists is another parliamentary gem.

    If she's a they maybe she/they can draw 2 salaries? Sounds like a cunning plan.

    Do not despair. Chlöe says the Greens “have started the process to make a decision”.
    What a useless joke of a party they are

    A Dunedin city councillor has walked away from the Green Party because of its alleged mistreatment of embattled MP Darleen Tana.

    When you envelope yourself in identity politics you shouldn't be surprised when your party disintegrates/fragments on racial lines.

    Looks like the brown segment don't like the way Genter got a free pass for being a shrieking banshee in the House when Darleen faces the boot for involvement in worker exploitation.

    A mass defection to the even more racist Te Pati Maori on the cards?

    Maybe a bit like the formation of National Party by members of two parties who identified as British Imperial loyalists. Identity politics is nothing new. Sidney Holland’s Christianity and Britishness were important.

    Bit of a difference when referring to National there Bjauck. I would suggest National take more of a holistic approach toward the betterment of an all encompassing society rather the the narrow demands of an "identity" based party.

    "Identity Politics is nothing new"

    You got that bit right. It's neo-marxism. Everyone's a victim in the great struggle. Society must be torn down and rebuilt in Marx's image.

    Amazing stuff!

    So the ‘brown’ ones in Greens reckon that worker/migrant exploitation, tax evasion and breaches of Covid restrictions are in the same category of misdeeds as a MP bullying in Parliament?
