I'm not saying her intentions one way or the other would make me more or less likely to actually vote for her, I just think the response to a valid question has been a bit hysterical. It's something that could potentially affect her job performance, why aren't people allowed to ask.

TTT's the Maori electorate; Northland's the general electorate.

With Davis the Deputy, I take it the close all charter schools policy is goooooooooooooooooooonnnnne?

Agree massive overreaction. So much hysteria on social media about it, every feminist has come out of the woodwork, although one person on Facebook I saw reckons Mark Richardson and Hosking etc are trolling the feminists with this...

This means they are not run for private profit, that the teachers they employ must be registered, and that they teach a certain proportion of the approved curriculum. That is what schools need to do in order to get public funding.

No it wasn't

She specifically made a statement that she didn't want the pm job as she wanted to start a family

If she makes a statement -be prepared to be called on it -otherwise get out of parliament

If she had said nothing previously then it would've been out of line - but as it was the question was in context

The amazing hypocrisy in this whole situation is that she's getting attention,and as yet totally unwarranted adulation,because she's a female

Women are insane, and while I'm personally quite happy for them running for office, as individually many of them have fine qualities well suited to leadership, allowing them to vote is incredibly foolish, as their mass insanity comes to the fore.

I wish she had just STFU. The Greens strategists need to be shot. Wilderbeast, you need to roll out Shaw. Get rid of Turei. Replace her with Genter.

He was a 25 year old nobody. She's the leader of her party.

Also slightly different on the dodgy scale. He recorded a conversation. She committed benefit fraud and also illegally voted. Slightly worse for a politician to do.....

She should be on her arse but the media is so obsessed over the new LAbour leader and how awesome she is because she has boobs, that nothing will happen

The Greens co-leader has denied living with her daughter's father when she was illegally collecting a benefit, despite her name being listed on the electoral roll at the same address at the time.

Newshub reported that an official listing of addresses showed Ms Turei listed at the same address as Paul Hartley, in both 1993 and 1994.

Ms Turei said her name was listed at the address so she could vote in the electorate, but that she now realised it was a stupid thing to do.

"That was for the purposes of the electoral roll. I wasn't living in that house. And this will sound really dorky, and I totally understand that, but I put myself on the electoral roll there because at the time, the 1993 election, my best friend was standing for election in that seat, and I wanted to support her."

I missed that. What's the story? I did see NewsHub smelling blood in the water and going after her by doing some actual investigative journalism... again... and finding that her partner was registered at her address for a year while she was claiming the DPB, and that her mother was one of her flatmates. As a couple of us were speculating further up the thread, this could turn terminal for her down the track.

Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei once enrolled at an address where she did not live so she could vote for a friend.

The MP enrolled at the address where her baby's father lived so she could vote for a friend who was a candidate in Mt Albert in 1993.

An electoral law expert says enrolling to vote at an address you do not live at is an offence.

Turei has also tonight confirmed her mother was a flatmate for part of the period she claimed the benefit in the 1990s.

The election will be close but the Nat's will win.

Key will in all likelihood resign midway through his next term.

God I hope its not Bennett !

Cunliffe to win the next election and remain in power for two terms.

What Barclay did was off the scales f**king dodgy. He was also a politician when he did it.

For the record, I'm not pleased with Turei's announcement but all parties have their illegal baggage. Turei gains points for owning it. She loses them all and then some for being completely unrepentant.

Interestingly a friend of mine was doing door knocking for Duncan Webb the labour candidate for ChCh central ( She's a Greenie ) and said that many of the serious National supporters in Merivale really liked Arden !

Funny that they won't investigate Fat Paula though eh?

Why do some people automatically think that anything and everything a politician does is about their own personal gain. Why can't it be that she was fighting for the most vulnerable people in the country who are struggling under a broken and vindictive system?

As for voter fraud, that is nothing. Just the Greens' enemies searching for something else to stick. It's been noted Bill English votes in Southland but his primary residence is in Wellington.
