Kerekeri resigns from greens, to resign from parliament at election I wonder if she can actually stay on as an MP, she one of the freeloading list MP's so are there at the party's pleasure, not the electorate. The gangrenes can trigger the waka jumping law , but they said they won’t. Hence why she will remain an independent MP until the election. There is no by election because she is a list MP. I'm thoroughly disappointed she's resigned, my popcorn shares have plummeted in value...

But has she actually resigned?
The greens tell us she has but until we hear from her it seems a bit early
Has she sent a letter? or is it just what she said during an angry zoom call
Wonder what NZ employment law would say....
And how likely is it that she retires from politics at the next election?
Has she said that?
Interesting times for our coalition gov.
and so for us
Is all this about doing the best for the country or hurt feelings and revenge?

So the subtext of this below story says the Greens co-leaders knew she was a bully, just didn't have enough evidence. Who would have thought the lesbian, Maori, female and academic would also be a bully? How can you have identity politicians doing the very thing they are there to combat? (you know identity politics, where only lesbians, women or Maori views count, cause anyone that is white, straight or male just doesn't understand) You should check out the topic of her PhD thesis (the bit she uses to refer to herself as a Doctor), its all about being Lesbian, Maori and Female. From Wiki: Academic career Throughout her studies at the Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT), Kerekere focussed on mana tūpuna (ancestors), mana wāhine (women) and mana takatāpui (the right to live and love regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity) and was the only degree graduate to have a solo exhibition.[2] After graduating from EIT, Kerekere spent the following five years researching the development of takatāpui identity in the 21st century at Victoria University of Wellington,[2] arguing that pre-colonial Māori were sexually experimental people who openly accepted gender and sexual fluidity,[22] and completing a PhD in 2017.[23][24] www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/131968519/green-party-coleaders-knew-of-concerns-about-dr-elizabeth-kerekere-before-crybaby-message

The Labour Party can also trigger the waka jumping law, but they wont as it's giant jack up to try and make sure both parties can get back in then unleash the kraken on everyone.

a winona moment? Green MP Golriz Ghahraman (lawyer) has been stood down from her portfolios amid allegations she shoplifted from an Auckland boutique store.www.1news.co.nz/2024/01/10/green-mp-golriz-ghahraman-stood-down-amid-shoplifting-allegations/winona The 44-year-old actress, who is best known for her roles in Girl, Interrupted, Beetlejuice and Little Women, was convicted of shoplifting $5,000 worth of designer clothes from Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills in December 2001.

so the greens have been sitting on this for over 2 weeks "Police can confirm a report was received about an incident at a Ponsonby retailer on December 23, 2023."
www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2024/01/golriz-ghahraman-police-confirm-probe-into-alleged-shoplifting-at-ponsonby-store.html
now they've announced it publically and that she's stepping down 'aside' from her duties during the investigation so they reserved judgement for 2 weeks, but now are putting her aside you'd think that means the easy "misunderstanding" excuses just won't play.... ... imagine she was completely innocent, never took anything, and this was entirely a media beat-up.............she and the greens would have been screaming blue murder from day 1 imagine she was completely guilty, had a large bit of expensive clothing either hidden under her clothing or stuffed in a bag under other items......the greens wouldn't want anyone to say a word while they searched for a way out..... the police and shop would appear to have been silent....ghoritz? has been silent ......eventually when it looked like there was no way out, the greens would need to put the party image first and need to stay ahead of any eventual leak by starting to cut their ties to her and announce to all that she has been put aside pending a full external investigation (the internal investigation being over) guess there's a middle ground where she may have plonked some socks in her bag while she signed autographs and then wandered out of the shop, forgetting to pay.........but it's hard to imagine this wall-of-silence approach for something somewhat explainable they've somewhat boxed themselves into kicking her right out after kerekere? was let go after publicly bad-mouthing choloe surprise surprise, she's uncontactable as she's overseas presumably not in iran complaining about the gov or ayatollah presumably not in gaza throwing rocks at israelis maybe in harrods, looking for something nice to bring back?

So much so that she she should probably resign resulting in her going on the benefit and retiring quietly with next to no income to live out her dieing days and an inability to afford the medication she's on. Or maybe she can hang on to the last bit of dignity she has and hold onto a role in opposition which is a pretty much worthless function anyway. Let's face it, this women's life is over. But keep kicking her when she's down...

this comment is posted in the BFD this morning
With Ghahraman being the alleged Scotties thief, I suppose you reflect on other things about her that you find questionable. I sat right behind her on a plane a while ago, well after her MS disclosure, and she was wearing these very fashionable high heeled wooden shoes. They looked challenging to walk in and I thought at the time that, with MS which usually affects gait, the shoes were impressive to wear. Now I have to question the MS as it just doesn’t add up. Actor such as Selma Blair and Christina Applegate are visibly affected and use walking canes which is typical. Or maybe the Greens actually want her gone and have been waiting for an incident to be exposed. Either way, she’s a goneburger.
GG is a pathological liar, eg her claiming to be a "human rights" lawyer from being on the defence team for a murdering African thug, she would not know the truth if she tripped over it so in my view even the MS claim could be suss. Deserves everything she cops.

MS is incredibly hard to pin down
it's more a collect of symptoms that can't be otherwise explained
i wonder if she just stays overseas now while the greens wait for some other BiG news story to hog the news cycle
when it comes, they could dust off her pre-written resignation and quietly drop it some fri. at 4pm
.....
of course once free of the green party
she could do a narcissistic lawyer trick, a la labour's former guilty-as-sin justice minister
plead "not guilty", and waste even more tax payer contribution in an attempt to enhance her personal brand as a "fighter"

But keep kicking her when she's down... I think if that was actually the case and she came out and said so you're comment would be fair. But no, ze green partay hid it for weeks while she farked off overseas to hide. But that's where her future lies I guess... Apparently it's $7k worth of shit she nicked. It almost certainly won't be her first offence. We all pay for people that shoplift. I have no sympathy for her.
