Was there a payout?
The Herald reports:
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will not be drawn on whether the resignation of the ex-staffer at the centre of a sexual assault claim will lead to a compensation payout.
She is also staying tight-lipped on whether she considered invoking the “relationship breakdown” clause to end the ex-staffer’s employment contract because of any safety concerns.
If they won’t deny a payout, one can assume there will be one.
