Te Pāti Māori has emailed its members a series of documents making serious allegations against one of their own MPs and her son.
The email, sent to members shortly before 10pm, said documentation had been prepared “in direct response” to recent claims made by Eru Kapa-Kingi, son of MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi.
I can’t recall a political party operating like this before. To send documents to every single party member, detailing alleged wrong-doing by one of their MPs.
Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer told the Herald she had learned of the parliamentary report on Friday and the party’s national council, which featured members of each electorate, had met on Sunday and agreed the documents would be shared with the wider membership.
This is not credible. There is no way a parliamentary co-leader would not have been aware of a parliamentary report about a former staffer.
I remind people that all 75 polls since the last election have shown that the only way Labour could form a government is with the support of Te Pati Maori. Looks like it would be very stable, eh.
