The hopeless Greens are finally going to eject Darleen Tana, a world-class parasite.
In the 2022 general election Tana managed a mere 12 per cent of her available electoral votes.
So too the Greens in that low-income electorate with the party vote.
Nevertheless, thanks to the vagaries of the party system, Tana briefly found herself a list MP.
Subsequently after a damning independent report on her past, she resigned as a party MP.
But she’s continued to turn up at parliament at a cost to the taxpayer in salary and expenses of circa $200,000 annually.
Here’s what puzzles me. If I, neither elected nor a party member, turn up at parliament and try to take a seat I’d be promptly ejected.
But that is exactly the same status as Tana, that is neither elected nor now a party member, so why on earth hasn’t the speaker booted her out? There’s no need to go through the motions of the ridiculously named waka-jumping law.
There’s a hugely amusing side to all of this. That is with Tana gone her replacement is a Waikato university “researcher” called Benjamin Doyle.
Google him. If he so much as opens his mouth he’ll have the Greens ruing they ever got rid of Tana.
If nothing else then I suppose we can give the Greens points for their entertainment value.
