Darleen Tana's future as an MP now lies with parliament's speaker.

Last night The Green Party's membership overwhelmingly voted to use the waka jumping legislation to kick Darleen Tana out of Parliament.

Ms Tana quit the party in July,  amid allegations of migrant exploitation at her husband's bicycle business, and an investigation that found Darleen Tana `likely knew' about the claims and didn't tell the party.

It's the first time the waka-jumping provision has been used since the early 2000s.

Former Green Party MP Gareth Hughes joins Kathryn.
