Wow.
Greens release Darleen Tana report summary showing ‘extensive’ involvement with troubled bike firm
- Executive summary reveals Darleen Tana continued her involvement with E Cycles despite selling shares in April 2019.
- She failed to disclose the personal grievance raised by an ex-employee against the company to the Green Party in 2020 and 2023.
- Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick has urged Tana to resign from Parliament.
Tana’s only hope to date was some absurd conspiracy that her side of the story hasn’t been told and the Greens have been unfair, meaning she should stay in Parliament because she’s a Māori woman who understands Māori science which is an extraordinary claim to make that somehow her identity is more important than her personal obligation to the Green Party list she was elected on!
The report the Greens hadn’t released was apparently her evidence, well it’s been released and the Greens had every reason to come to the conclusion they have,
Why Tana was under the impression that the report would vindicate her is utterly beyond me, but what this entire fiasco has shown is the steel of Chloe as Leader, her ‘Facts more important than feelings’ statement utterly undermined the emotional manipulation Tana has attempted and disarms the woke identity politics justifications.
This non-binary lady’s not for turning!
Chloe’s leadership has been strong and tough and her handling of this has built her up.
The NZ Left fall in love while the NZ Right fall in line, and right now the Left are loving AND respecting Chloe.
They have the opportunity at the Christchurch conference to end this nonsense by enabling the wake jumping legislation, now the report has been made public, the Greens must capitalise on this moment and end this silliness now.
There are two ways you can misunderstand something by being too far away from it AND from being too close to it!
Lived experience only goes so far if your lived experience is bad.
The Greens need way less lived experience and need way more professional experience.
Tana would fit well in the national party as she just talks shit and waffels on .Must have been trained by Luxons media bull shit trainers .
Has become an even worse look with her husbands bike business in receivership and him “fleeing” back to Europe. Leaving her alone to “face the music”.
Why would he want to stay and put up with her shit for the rest of his life ?Imagine having to listen to that for the rest of your days
I don’t agree with Chloe’s politics but have been impressed with how she has handled a nightmare situation.
Am ok with the Greens using the Waka jumping law to out Tana, they will get blasted for being hypocritical but its not outing an MP for taking a principled stand on legislation, it’s getting rid of a bad person who shouldn’t be there.
Darleen is full of shit and needs to go. No shame on Greens if they use the legislation. Tana is a list MP with no great history so far.
Her staying on as an independent would be for personal opportunist reasons only.
In full agreement with the second statement but perhaps the first is open to interpretation. In the current political climate parties must seen to be be tough with elected members. Break the code of conduct – perceived to be the case or real – and it is expected that you fall on your sword. Don’t bring the party into disrepute because if any renegade does and its not dealt to with a firm hand it just doesn’t look good. The Greens more than other parties perhaps as they appear to take the moral high ground on a good many issues and have been already bruised by a few renegades. So it should be. A bit like draining the moral swamp. Though in reality that’s a tough ask. But I concede I might be overthinking it. On the face of it the report is pretty damming – although again I haven’t read it.
Exactly.
Steal not steel is the Green modus operandi, whether it is Golriz out shopping or Darleen stealing wages from immigrants, let’s get our spelling correct.
I think Darleen engaging in wage theft- strongly suggesting she is driving down the wages of New Zealanders at least as much as she might be stealing from immigrants- is rather more serious than that kurd lifting a few overpriced items of secondhand clothing from some Wellington gits.
We have an opposition that is made up of a racist party, a lazy party and a have no control party National are set to rule for the next 6 years at least.
