Former Green MP fires parting shots at co-leaders during final speech

From Morning Report, 6:45 am on 17 August 2023

Elizabeth Kerekere has fired parting shots at the Greens co-leaders during her final speech in Parliament, accusing them of an epic failure of leadership.

The Green MP resigned from the party after being accused of bullying in May. An internal review was held, after she called Greens' colleague Chlöe Swarbrick a cry-baby in a group chat.

Kerekere says the only people who complained were the co-leaders Marama Davidson and James Shaw.

She says it was a long, drawn-out process.
