I find it odd that people who are green voters are still supporting her when she has pretty much torpedoed the Green party vote at this election by effectively misrepresenting her own circumstances. It's probably one of the worst pieces of politics in the last 20 years
It's blown up worse than it should have, Nats have had numerous worse scandals which have just whimpered out. The people on the right seem to be less inclined to hold people accountable than on the left.
If you can't see the issue here in terms of someone who wanted to be Social Development Minister in any government then you just don't get politics.
I can see the issue and think she was right to quit even though it is a big loss to NZ. This is akin to Bill English being Finance minister despite lying about his living conditions to get extra allowances - except for more forgivable because Turei was living in desperate circumstances.
