A can of worms for Kerekere

The Herald reports:

The Green Party may allow staff members to submit their experiences to a review of the conduct of MP Elizabeth Kerekere, if that is where the investigation leads.

The Herald understands there has been a pattern of infractions involving Kerekere and staff who work at Parliament, and even other MPs – many akin to the behaviour that got Kerekere in trouble last week over a message she sent that appeared to call fellow Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick a “crybaby”.

Kerekere denied the “crybaby” remark referred to Swarbrick.

A Green Party spokesperson would not comment on whether the party was aware of incidents involving Kerekere’s behaviour towards staff. Kerekere did not respond to requests to comment.

By coincidence I was chatting to a Green Party insider the day before Kerekere sent her crybaby message. The insider commented that Kerekere was the most unpleasant person in the Green Party they had encountered.

So I am sure that there are scores of stories from staff and others about Kerekere. For this reason, I suspect they will rule them out of bounds.
