Description:

Parliament has not even returned for 2024 yet, but we’ve already got our first political scandal of the year. 

Green Party MP Golriz Ghahraman has quit Parliament after multiple allegations of shoplifting surfaced over the last few weeks. 

Citing mental health concerns in her statement, it has once again raised questions about the stress placed on MPs and their suitability to serve, while the Green Party again faces scrutiny over their handling of the case.  

NZ Herald deputy political editor and host of the On the Tiles podcast, Thomas Coughlan, joins to dissect what to make of this scandal.
