Good polling due to benefit admission
Green Party co leader Metiria Turei says outing herself as a benefit fraudster is the reason for their great showing in the latest polls.
The Colmar Brunton Poll sees the Greens at 14 percent the highest ever for the Party.
Metiria Turei says her admission of benefit fraud, resonated with key voters.
"We had the highest poll in the Colmar Brunton that the Greens have ever had in their time in parliament. When I put out the call for compassionate welfare people responded because we've all know for 25 years that that had to happen. We've all been one way or another been subjected to this terrible culture of punishment and people are crying out for someone just to say it our loud," says Greens co leader Metiria Turei.
