Darleen Tana says they have support within the Green Party to stay.

They've refused the Party's repeated requests to resign from Parliament.

Tana today argued Parliament's proportionality isn't affected, because Te Pati Maori is submitting their vote via proxy - aligned with Green positions.

Tana says they're not staying for the money, but because they're kaupapa-driven.

"I'm listening to my communities - Green Party members and non-members alike - who have been constantly calling me and reminding me that they voted party Green for Darleen."
