This is just an amazing series of events, with the greens now being forced to threaten to use the Waka Jumping legislation in order to try and make her do the right thing.

They move pretty slowly because they have to get membership votes on these kinds of decisions. It does not work in their favour when it comes to news cycles.

Meanwhile, the media seem to be forgetting the fact that even though they had issues with it the Greens ultimately did vote in favour of waka jumping legislation so it's not actually quite the crossing-the-rubicon moment eveyone is making out.

They did vote for the bill, but they were pretty vocal about not being happy about it.
