Hmmm... I thought the message was "NOT stepping down ..." ??? Bit premature in terms of speculation then? I get the point about the Greens' leadership requirement, and personally have no problem with it. Most who are diagnosed early fully recover and sincere hopes Marama will continue to be a force for good in Parliament and out for many many years.
I read your now deleted comment Mike. Here's a tip: don't write when you're angry; all anyone reading it will see is the anger. And don't disrespect your own words by being intemperate with their use - it diminishes you.
There's a big difference between "critical commentary" and unhinged rant.
I know for an absolute fact that breast cancer is a blip......a fairly big blip, BUT it is not the end. Marama will be treated and she will return to her role. Hundreds of women do this.

Brilliant deconstruction, beating them at their own game. I love the conclusion being, essentially, that (Pakeha) "men need not apply"

Thank you for outlining this view of the conundrum.
