Tame was actually referring to National MP Tim van de Molen, who was found in contempt and censured by Parliament last year after being accused of threatening a Labour MP in a select committee meeting.
He noted that National Party leader Christopher Luxon stripped the MP of his portfolios at the time and asked whether the Greens should be doing the same with Genter.
Swarbrick: “two completely different circumstances”
...err no she just described Van de Molen's actions as Genter's and National had handled his actions it appropriately…again, you can’t make this stuff up. All politicians are equal, only some are more equal than others, aye comrade? Apparently, public outcry is punishment enough - even if that outcry calls for stripping of her portfolio's. Regardless of the outcome of the inquiry, Genter will not loose her portfolio.
Swarbrick admits she is an Activist and not a politician who would not cross the aisle to garner bipartisan support to further her cause. She's not really interested in helping NZ or the environment. She's a petulant child who dummy spits if she doesn't get what she wants
