Will you refund new zealand tax payers for your waste of thier tax money paying her salary She should be forced to pay back. Disgusting

[@adsdft585]

What has happened in the past? NZ First MPs, United MPs etc? You need to ask what the rules of Parliament are..

[@joelrichardson1854]

How is this party still being taken seriously, waste of tax funds

[@adsdft585]

The National MP for New Plymouth made a false return to parliament. He is still in Parliament.

[@harrycurrie9664]

Breaking immigration laws is one thing, doing it as a Member of Parliament is another. In years gone by I'm sure this would have meant instant dismissal and a very lengthy time in prison.

[@esotericnightmares]

% wise, their level of law breaking illegal activity must be highest in nz politics.

Another one bites the dust. Without James Shaw the green party are a pathetic mess.

[@jennilizie]

Shaw may have been aware of the ‘rot’ in the Greens, brought it to the attention of Davidson and been stiff-armed. Leaving him no option but to accept the decay or leave. Morally and politically he did the right thing.

New Zealand's Greens FINALLY took the correction action - but several months too late. Maybe Davidson and Swarbrick should also resign, and they should be replaced by two moderate, pragmatic, and sensible Green politicians. Then the Greens would start moving, step by step, away from the Left and more towards the moderate, progressive, and reasonable Center.

[@rosssouthwell8678]

[@marksharman8029]

This response is timely and appropriate. This is a process that stems from the findings, it benefits all kiwis to follow it to it's conclusion. As to cost of the crimes, as with all people in NZ the Police take action. In due course. So watch this space. I doubt punishment will be as brutal as some people would want, I personally do not care about that. I do hope an appropriate conclusion will follow.

Swarbrick is a back room brawler, knows where the bodies are buried and who is sleeping with who. The ‘straight talk’ an attempt at desecration management. What she is concerned about (justifiably) is an amateurish ‘Night of the Long Knives’ by Green mobsters.
