Party-hopper Donna Pokere-Phillips has joined anti-vax lawyer Sue Grey’s Outdoors and Freedom Party as co-leader.
Ms Grey is standing for the party in the Tauranga by-election.
Ms Pokere-Phillips first stood for election in Port Waikato for the Alliance in 1999.
In 2017 she stood for the Opportunities Party in Hamilton West and was number 6 on the party’s list, and in 2020 she was the Māori Party candidate for Hauraki-Waikato.
She says the Outdoors and Freedom Party is a new whare for Māori.
