https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350212958/green-mp-suspended-amid-migration-exploitation-claims This is going to be really bad and poo poo for the greens. Looks like there's a bunch of he-said-she-said going on so it'll drag on for ages in the news unless Darlene resigns. quote:The Green Party has suspended one of its MPs, Darleen Tana, and appointed an independent lawyer to investigate her conduct after a Stuff investigation into allegations of migrant exploitation at a business owned by her husband.

The fun part is it only matters because green voters care. If an act mp did that their supporters would probably praise their business sense.

as more and more details have come out it's looking pretty impossible for Darlene to come back from this. She needs to resign, then Chloe can turn it around and talk about how valuable the ERA is and why is the ACT party planning to gut it.

Chumbawamba would be loving fuming about this. Their entire ethos was (is?) of anarcho-punk.
