Kiri Allan should be left in peace to recover. In hindsight Chris Hopkins should have seen this coming and nipped it in the bud weeks ago. Poor management by boss. There's a reason for ministerial rules. Hipkins failed the leadership test
@investigatemag At least Todd Muller had the sense to ( or the people around him did) to step down before something like this happens. Perhaps she didn't have the right people around her (including the government people) to make the right decisions
@ShorttClare @investigatemag Labour were very kind re Todd Muller but within a year Kiri has been fighting cancer, had several devastating weather events in her expansive electorate (and she has been there for her constituents). She's had a relationship breakdown. Some people have needled her relentlessly.
