After spending 114 days, more than half her Parliamentary career, suspended, Darleen Tana was defiant after she left the Green Party over the weekend, jumping before she was pushed. She remains as an MP for now, unless she heeds the plea of Green co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick to “please resign” from Parliament altogether, or the Greens decide to invoke the waka-jumping bill, controversial among party members – and which the Greens had tried to repeal as recently as three years ago.

Gun control advocates want more regulation on a firearm popular among gangs. The 782 Alfa carbines and Alfa hunters look indistinguishable from a handgun once its barrel and stock are cut off. One hundred and 63 of them were imported and passed on to criminals from 2019-2021. Gun Control NZ Co-Founder Nick Green told Andrew Dickens there is no reason they should be legal. He says semi-automatic guns have been regulated, and the Alfa carbines should be no different. LISTEN ABOVE See
