Former Green MP Darleen Tana refuses to resign

From Checkpoint, 5:20 pm today

Former Green MP Darleen Tana has rebuffed their former party's pleas by refusing to resign from Parliament. This means if the Greens want Tana gone, then they'll need to use the waka-jumping law - which the party has long opposed. About 200 party delegates will meet at the start next month to decide whether to do just that. However, in a letter to the Green co-leaders, released today, Darleen Tana said they are not going anywhere.
