1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: The Green Party has released the executive summary of the

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Darling Tana Report. As we kind of already know thanks

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,079
Speaker 1: to the leaks of the report, the report found that

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: it is likely Darling Tanner knew more about migrant exploitation

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: allegations at her husband's business than she had perhaps led on.

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: The Green Party leadership is still noncommittal about whether or

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: not Darling Tana is likely to find herself walker jumped

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: out of Parliament anytime soon. Catherine Della Hunty is a

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: former Green MP and is with us this evening. Kilder,

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: Good evening, Well, Kilder Jack. Can you see the Green

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: Party holding its nose and using the Walker jumping law

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: to push Darling Tanner out?

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: I think it's possible. I think that because they've got AGM.

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: My experience of the Greenses in the past is when

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: there's been a big tricky issue, they take it to

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: the party and listen to the members as much as

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: they can, and I think that's quite likely to happen

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: given the timing of their AGM soon.

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: So you think that it's likely, as opposed to the

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Carker deciding to use the Waker Jumping bill, that they'll

21
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: go to the AGM put that to members, there'll be

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: a vote and depending on the decision at that vote,

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: if Darling Tanna was still in Parliament, they might choose

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: to invoke the walker jumping law.

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know that there'll be a vote. There

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 2: may be a process check. Green politics is always a process, yeah,

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: and I mean it means people get heard and that

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 2: this happened once before. I remember when Jibet Sit Simons

29
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: had to make a call as a leader of the

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: party on climate change. She went and talked to a

31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: large number of people the party and listened up. They

32
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: didn't actually vote, they just talked and then she got

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: enormous amount of support for the position she took. So

34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what position the party will take on this.

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: There's a history which of course goes right back to

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: New Labor Alliance days whereby the Greens supported the right

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: to walker jump, and so it's a difficult situation for them.

38
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: It's a real dilemma.

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Did do you think Darling Tana has a mandate to

40
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: remain in Parliament?

41
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: I mean, as a former List MP, I think your

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: mandate comes an awful lot from your party. And although

43
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know I support people like Tuddy

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: Naturia doing what she needed to do to leave the

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: Labor Party and Rodin Jeanette leaving the Alliance. I think

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: they were on very strong ethical grounds when they did that,

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: because they were going to create new parties. I think

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: it's difficult when you're an individual who's been accused of

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: the issues, which I'm not able to really comment on.

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: I don't know enough about it, but I think it's

51
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: difficult to say that's a mandate when you're an individual

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: and you're going to go independent. And also, I think

53
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: it's hard to survive effectively independent if you're not in

54
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: the political party. Under the current political system, it's very

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: difficult to be effective. And if you look at the

56
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: history of most of the people who have they've not

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: been kicked out, but they haven't had a party. They

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: haven't they haven't been able to do very much.

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: No, No, that's the thing. How effective can you really

60
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: be as an independent MP? Do you reckon if the

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: if the Greens did use the Waker jumping law, that

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: they would be punished by voters.

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: Actually, no, I don't think this is one of the

64
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: court issues that Green voters.

65
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: I agree.

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: I think that I think people just go well when

67
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: they when they when they were anti woker jumping, they

68
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: were talking about parties. Then there's individual cases and it's

69
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: very difficult to write law that covers all all situations

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: and the difference between an individual who with whom they've

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: lost based and trust on both sides, and and when

72
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: when there's people who are about where when it really

73
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: is about a co propper, Really it is about a

74
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: co crapper with which it was with Taliana even though

75
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: she's electrical MP, she still had a mandate from the

76
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: tongue of the Fenerala right across the country, huge ground

77
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: school of support for her over the Foresheran seabed, which

78
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: is a different situation.

79
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: It is it's a question of policy in that in

80
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: that circumstance, isn't it. Thank you so much for your
