Darleen Tana has been booted from Parliament, according to a notice from Speaker Gerry Brownlee.
She has become the first MP to be kicked out of Parliament under the most recent waka jumping rule, which became law in 2018.
It has been a slow process to get here, which started back in March when Stuff revealed her links with allegations of migrant worker exploitation at her husband’s e-bike shop.
“The Speaker has this morning gazetted notice that Darleen Tana is no longer a member of Parliament,” Green Party Co-Leader Chlöe Swarbrick said.

Despite the Green Party having previously campaigned against the rule, it decided to write to the Speaker asking that Tana be removed.
