Show Notes
Chlöe Swarbrick is confident in the Greens' argument about proportionality of the House being affected by now independent MP Darleen Tana.
Party delegates have voted to ask Speaker Gerry Brownlee to oust Tana from Parliament, invoking the waka-jumping law it has previously opposed.
It's now down to Brownlee to decide if Tana's resignation from the party —but not Parliament— affects the proportionality of the House.
The Green Party co-leader told Mike Hosking she's proud the 185 delegates representing thousands of members all came to the conclusion.
She says it was a unanimous and resounding consensus, which demonstrates that the party's moving forward together on the issue.
