Willie Jackson still in support of Meka Whaitiri

One of Meka Whaitiri's staunchest supporters, Willie Jackson, says he understands why some people are questioning whether the former Minister is fit to be an MP. Ms Whaitiri was stripped of her ministerial responsibilities after the Prime Minister lost confidence in her over an altercation with her press secretary at an event in Gisborne last month. The report into what happened was leaked to media yesterday and revealed the press secretary was left with bruises on her arm.
