New Zealand MP Suspended Amid Shoplifting Allegations

“I think it’s going to be difficult even if they come out and say that it was a misunderstanding or that it was, you know, incorrectly accused etc, it’s still going to be a tarnish on her reputation,” Morten said. “Obviously, she’s a senior and experienced member of the Greens so, for her, she’s going to have to sort of rebuild that credibility gap.” Morten said if the allegations were true, it would “absolutely speak to the unsuitability of someone to be an MP”. “You’ve got to respect the law of the land, particularly when you are making the law of the land.”
