Green MP Julie Anne Genter's confrontational actions in Parliament lead to apologies and potential disciplinary action, causing a stir among MPs.
Julie Anne Genter, a Green Party MP, found herself in hot water after a series of confrontations in the Parliament. The incidents, including a heated exchange with Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey, prompted Genter to issue apologies for her behavior. The Green Party expressed disappointment, labeling her actions as 'unacceptable' and below the expected standards for MPs.
Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters weighed in, criticizing Genter for 'losing the plot' during the confrontations. The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Barbara Kuriger, also highlighted the inappropriate nature of leaving one's seat to engage in arguments across party lines. Genter's actions could result in further disciplinary measures due to the complaints of intimidatory behavior.
