More Green vs Green

Stuff reports:

The Green Party is refusing to say how long the investigation into its MP Elizabeth Kerekere will take – in turn fuelling frustration from the party base.

More Green members, who are being asked to rank the party’s members and MPs to form its list, have spoken to Stuff, concerned the party is purposely “dragging out” the bullying investigation into Kerekere.

Multiple members, who had been closely aligned with the party – and had worked closely within the caucus and for MPs – say they’re going to cut ties with the party altogether. They’re angry at how the party is treating Kerekere, an MP who some have alleged is a bully.

It is bizarre that it has dragged on for weeks.

Another source, who as a party member was privy to Green caucus discussions and has been highly involved in the party, said the wider bullying claims were hard to believe.

“I wouldn’t say that Elizabeth Kerekere is the bully in the Green Party caucus,” they said.

“Everyone has their bad days in caucus – but I’ve seen nearly every other MP in the Green Party be a lot meaner to the other MPs in caucus than I have Dr Kerekere… This is not the MP I think they should invest their time into investigating.”

Fascinating. This insider claims that Kerekere is an amateur mean girl compared to other Green MPs. So who is the biggest bully in the Green caucus?
