What do we think, will she resign? Will the greens use the Waka jumping law?

And is there anything remotely useful she can accomplish as an independent MP without an electorate?

My money is on "sit in the back and collect the pay cheque". That's what I'd do 😆

I don't think the Greens will care enough to use a law they were vocally against. Regardless of what happens, it can't change the balance of parliament.

You'd think she would have the integrity to step down, but she seems to think she wasn't given the opportunity to explain herself, despite the fact she lied to the rest of her party about what was happening at her company.

She definitely won't resign. The Greens seem to be really invested in internal democracy so it's hard to predict without talking to some of them.
