Presser at 1pm. 

Place your bets. Probably short odds on 'refused to cooperate, resigned' and hoping that's the end of the matter. 

Lmao not even that. Words fail me.

It looks like she's gone bush and not answering their calls. This will be a fun few days.

Ah she is disputing the report and claiming a breech of natural justice. This is going to be a circus.

Let me guess, she is going to go full Sovcit

Hilariously bad outcome for something that has taken over 50% of the time she was actually an MP. 

The Greens now can't invoke the waka jumping rules unless without looking like hypocrits.

Remember when ACT had too many MPs and David Seymour couldn't possibly control them by himself, and it was sure to be a three-ring circus? I mean... we got it, but just not the clowns we were expecting. 

So a cartoon with Greens in Doctors office, 
Doctor cherrily says, 'don't worry it will all be over in 2 and a bit years'.

Can't see anyone who has been involved in what has been accused giving up an MPs pay plus a raft of allowances.
 
Especially as it looks like the other family income is a business possibly a marginal earner as can't treat employees properly etc.

So she will be hanging in there like a limpet.
Might even suddenly find a cause to represent freedoms of Sovcits for extra pin money. :-)
Start the first Blue-Green party representing the rights of business.

Is there any regulatory requirement for her to even turn up to Parliament for next 2 years?

Not sure why the centre-right has to come into this, but sure.

As Winston says, far more likely she'll join or pledge votes to TPM.

A centre-right party is kind of a bizarre suggestion IMO. Why would anyone on the centre right want anything to do with her?

Which they don't need. A Green MP exploiting migrant Labour has nothing to do with the CR. Trying to drag them into it is a weird form of projection.

EVERY vote counts when you are trying to exert power within parliament.

It's a poor attempt to smear one political wing with the actions of someone from the completely opposite side of the house. 

This is the Green Party's headache, and no one else. It goes so far beyond whataboutism that I don't know what to even call it.
