Swarbrick says Tana has "betrayed" the principles the Green Party was elected on

Chloe Swarbrick says they'll continue asking Darlene Tana to resign from Parliament.  

The request was made yesterday after the party received the investigation into alleged migrant exploitation at her husband's business.  

Tana's been suspended on full pay for 115-days.  

She doesn't accept the findings, claiming it substantially misrepresents her level of involvement in her husband's business. 

Tana's resigned from the party but not yet parliament.  

Swarbrick told Andrew Dickens that if Tana believes in the principles the party was elected on, she needs to recognise the bigger picture.  

She says New Zealand voters expect the Green Party to be entitled to the 15 seats it won at the election.
