Will there be any consequences from the Greens for JAG?

The Herald reports:

Green MP Julie Anne Genter has been found in contempt of the House for “intimidating” behaviour directed at another MP and it has been recommended she be censured.

A report just released by the Privileges Committee, which assessed Genter’s actions in the House in May, recommends the Rongotai MP be “censured by the House for acting in a manner that could have the effect of intimidating a member of the House acting in the discharge of their duty”.

The question now is whether the Greens will do anything. We have a very relevant comparison with National MP Tim van der Molen last term who was found to have had similar behaviour.

Chris Luxon announced that the consequence for the behaviour will be van der Molen loses all his portfolios for the remainder of the current term, and was ruled out from being a Minister during the next term. That was a very significant consequence.

Will the Greens impose any consequence at all on Genter?
