1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Now. Is there anyone else getting the feeling that the

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Greens have underestimated just how far Darlene Tana will go

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: to mess with them. Is I feel like they've bit

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: off a little bit much with this one, because so far,

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: the way I see it, it's too nil to Darlene.

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: She won the first round when she wouldn't leave parliament.

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: They clearly thought she was going to leave after they

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: released that report, but she didn't won that one. And

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: she's just won the second round today by forcing the

10
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: party to cancel that meeting that they were planning to

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: have on Sunday where they were going to plot kicking

12
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: her out of parliament. I'm actually impressed. This woman's got

13
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: way more gumption than any of us thought. Who knows

14
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: where it goes from here, because this is clearly not

15
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: the end. I mean, from where I'm sitting, it looks

16
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: like there's a couple more rounds to come. Are they

17
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: going to go to court in two weeks again? That's

18
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: another round. And then when they finally decide whenever that is,

19
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: to try to kick Darlene out of parliament, that's going

20
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: to be another round They're going to have to fight,

21
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: and frankly, given what she's pulled out already, they must

22
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: be dreading what she's going to do next. And you

23
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: know what I know this is. I know I'm running

24
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: against the grain on this one, but I actually think

25
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: good on her because I'm enjoying making watching her make

26
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: them squirm. Don't get me wrong, This is not to

27
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: say I'm on Darlene's side. I'm not. She's weird. But

28
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: the Greens deserve this. They chose her, They were very,

29
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: very happy to have Darlene on their list for the electionation.

30
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: She was a nice, married Maori lady from Auckland Central

31
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: who owned a small business. What that meant is that

32
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: some nice people in Auckland Central who have money and

33
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: small businesses would look at her and identify with her.

34
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: She would make the Greens okay for them and they

35
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: would vote for the Greens. Awful Darlene, because Darline's on

36
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the list and Darling's a nice lady. Well happy to

37
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: have her. Then didn't do the checks obviously on her,

38
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: like they didn't do on any of the other Green

39
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: MPs who've since gone rogue. So they've got to live

40
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: with their choices and they've got to live with the

41
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: big old fight that one of their choices is bringing

42
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: to them. For more from Heather Duplessy Allen Drive, Listen
