Green Party List MP Darleen Tana has been suspended due to allegations of migrant exploitation at her husband’s company E Cycles NZ.

Tana is the third member of the party to face serious allegations over the last year following bullying accusations against Elizabeth Kerekere and shoplifting charges against Golriz Ghahraman.

Party co-leaders Marama Davidson and Chlöe Swarbrick announced the suspension to legacy media this morning. An investigation by an ‘independent lawyer’ is underway.

The suspension comes after two complaints of migrant expoitation were filed in the Employment Relations Authority against E Cycles NZ.

Swarbrick told the Mike Hosking Breakfast there was a potential conflict of interest between Tana’s small business portfolio and the role in her husband’s business activities. While she has not been a director or shareholder of the company since 2019, it is understood the complaints involve allegations against her. Tana advised the party of the complaints on 1 and 9 February but the party moved to suspend her believing she may have known of the allegations before then.

    • But but but… Eco-slavery is ok, it’s all for the ‘greater good’.

      Just ask the child slaves in Africa mining cobalt and lithium.

  1. Ha hah hah.

    The Hoskins/Chlöe Swarbrick interview is an absolute doozie.

    “Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike”.

    First shoplifting and now slavery.

    Another bad week for the NZ green flavoured communist party.

    • Swarbrick, according to Wikipedia, sees a shrink and is on medication(s).
      The entire Green Party needs to have it’s Charter and Political Registration annulled!

  2. In fairness Darleen Tana does look like a nutter.

    I guess the question is: How nutty and is she dangerous?

  3. Apologies to be blunt.

    Wouldn’t it be great if these stupid lying evil corrupt ‘green’ communists would just just permanently F**K off.

  4. Yep…red is the new green of communism…!
    Can’t wait to see their version of the :15 Minute Cities that will 5G your a** with EMF smog, and deliver your insect meals by drone.
    Wait until the DEW hits your dog kennel attached tiny-home, and the see-thru-walls technology which will insure that you have plenty of carbon-free sustainable toilet paper in the loo!
