Kei raro ngā Kākāriki i te pēhanga kia whana atu a Darleen Tana mai i te Pāremata

Tuesday, 9 July 2024

Kei raro a MP Darleen Tana i te pēhanga kia rihaina.

I whakatārewatia e te Rōpū Kākāriki a Tana i te Māehe i muri i te whakaaturanga o ngā hononga i waenganui i a ia me te kaiapo kaimahi manuheke e whakapae ana.

Kāore ia i te Pāremata mō ngā marama tata kua hipa.

Kua whakamāoritia tēnei pūrongo e tētahi hinengaro rorohiko, ā, kua hihiratia e te kaiwhakamāori a Puna, ko Joel Maxwell, nāna te pūrongo i whakapai hoki i mua i te whakaputa hei pūrongo reorua. Nā Straker me Microsoft te hinengaro rorohiko i whakawhanake.

Kei te tipu te pēhanga mō te Rōpū Kākāriki me tōna MP i ākiri nei, a Darleen Tana, mehemea ka noho tonu ia ki te Pāremata.

Pressure is building for the Green Party and its shunned MP, Darleen Tana, over whether she should remain in Parliament.

Kāore a Tana i te Pāremata mō ngā marama tata kua hipa. I whakatārewatia ia e ngā Kākāriki i te Māehe, i te whakaaturanga a Puna i ngā hononga i waenganui i a ia me te kaiapo kaimahi manuheke e whakapae ana. Nō muri i te whakahoki i ngā whakatau o te ketuketutanga a te Rōpū Kākāriki ki a ia me te uepū, kua whanaina atu a Tana.

Tana hasn’t been at Parliament for months. She was suspended from the Greens in March, when Stuff revealed links between herself and alleged migrant worker exploitation. And now that the results of a Green Party investigation have been returned to her and the caucus, Tana has been kicked out of the party.

Engari kei te noho tonu ia he MP.

But she remains an MP.

I te wā e haere tonu ana te tukanga tōrangapū, he kaimahi o mua i a Bikes and Beyond - he toa paihikara nā te hoa rangatira a Tana, ko Christian Hoff Nielsen - e whanga mai ana ki ngā mano tāra e kī ana ia kei te nama tonu ki a ia.

While the political process plays out, a former worker at Bikes and Beyond - a bike shop owned by Tana’s husband, Christian Hoff Nielsen - is still waiting for thousands of dollars he says he’s owed.

Kei te tatari tonu a Santiago Palma, ko te kaimahi tuatahi kia kōrero tūmatanui, ki ngā utu e kī ana ia kei te nama tonu ki a ia. I a Tana e huritao ana ki tāna tūranga MP, kua kī a Palma ki a Puna, nā tāna i whaiwāhi ai ki a Bikes and Beyond i hurihia katoa tōna moemoeā Aotearoa ki te moepapa kē.

Santiago Palma, the first worker to speak out publicly, is still waiting for the wages he says he’s owed. As Tana considers her role as an MP, he told Stuff that becoming involved with Bikes and Beyond had turned his New Zealand dream into a nightmare.

'E hiahia ana ahau mō te whakapāha anake. A, kāore ahau i te mōhio he aha rāua i whakakāhore ai, i whakakāhore ai, i whakakāhore ai,' tana kī.

“I only want for an apology. And I don't know why they deny and deny and deny,” he said.

I roto i tētahi tauākī, ka kī a Tana, kāore ia i tino whaiwāhi ki te pakihi. Engari i kī a Palma i whaiwāhi ai ia, ā, i kōrero rāua ko Tana mō tāna [a Palma] tūranga mahi i tērā Noema.

Tana, in a statement, said she had not been heavily involved in the business. But Palma said she had been, and they last discussed his role in November.

'I hōmai e ia taku whakamātauranga ki a au. A, he rite tonu āna puta mai, a, i whakahaeretia hoki e ia ngā utu,' tana kī.

“She gave me my trial. And she appears often, and also she managed the payments,” he said.

Hei tā te Pirimia taupua a Winston Peters he here tā ngā Kākāriki ki te whakamahi i te ture peke Waka hei pana i a Tana i waho o te Pāremata.

Acting Prime Minister Winston Peters said the Greens have an obligation to use the Waka jumping legislation to force Tana out of Parliament.

Ka tino whakahē atu ngā Kākāriki ki te pire peke waka, e karanga ana he rīroi mate e patu manapori ana.

The Greens rallied against the waka jumping bill, calling it an anti-democratic dead rat.

Engari, ki te kore a Tana e rihaina ana, ka hui tahi te uepū Kākāriki ki te pōti mehemea ka tono ki te Pīka kia pana ia. E mate ana e rua ngā tuatoru o te uepū kia tautoko taua mōtini.

But the Green caucus will, if Tana dosen’t resign, meet to vote on whether to ask the Speaker to remove her. Two thirds of the caucus would need to support that motion.

I roto i tētahi tauākī, kāore a Tana i whāki mehemea kei te whakaaro ia kia noho, kia haere rānei. Engari i tāpetupetu atu ia ki te ketuketutanga.

In a statement, Tana didn’t say if she was planning to stay or go. But she hit out against the investigation.

'Kāore rawa te rīpoata e kī ana kua puta te kaiapotanga manuheke, ā, waihoki he haepapa tōku e pā ana i ngā āhuatanga katoa,' tana kī.

'The report does not say that migrant exploitation has occurred, let alone that I am responsible for it in any capacity,“ she said.

'He ketuketutanga tēnei ki tōku i mōhio ai, ā, me ngā mea e mate ana kia whakaatu ki ngā kaiārahi rōpū. Nā reira e tino māharahara ana ahau ki te whakarāpopototanga a te rōpū mō ngā kitenga.'

'This was an investigation into what I knew and should have disclosed to my party leadership. I am therefore deeply concerned by the party’s summary of the findings.'

I whakapeka a Tana kia uiuitia, kia whakautu rānei i ngā pātai i te Mane me te Tūrei.

Tana declined to be interviewed or answer questions on Monday and Tuesday.
