She should be removed from parliament, now that the investigation has concluded and she was found to be corrupt…get rid of her.

What’s the process for this? Greens told her to go, and so she resigned from the party and not from parliament. Presumably Greens can’t do any more, presumably the in power government can’t kick out opposition MPs, but presumably there is a process to remove an MP when they abuse their position. Any idea what that process is?
They can use the “waka jumping” law to boot her, but they opposed that piece of legislation, and will presumably be unwilling to use it.
One would think she will eventually go of her own accord.
I guess when she isn’t in the government and she’s now independent she probably doesn’t have much sway in parliament anyway.
I was just reading this from 2022: https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/08/17/explainer-what-happens-if-an-mp-is-expelled-from-their-party/
And noticed this closing statement:
The Waka Jumping option is available to all parties - however, it is unlikely National will utilise the legislation.
National voted against the law change in 2018 and still oppose the legislation. Leader Christopher Luxon says the party would repeal it if in government.
Luxon says a lot of things 😆
