Photo: Mark MitchellNational leader Judith Collins is "disgusted" that a portrait of Sir Winston Churchill was moved from its place in Parliament, allegedly at the behest of the Green Party. The Green Party has responded to Collin's criticisms, saying the portrait was being replaced by a new piece by tangata whenua artist Marilynn Webb. Kerekere had asked the committee about moving the Churchill portrait. "We are really excited about displaying artwork by Marilynn Webb outside the Green Party office and the hallway to the Speaker's Gallery." Kerekere said the Churchill portrait was "a significant work" and would remain on display in another public area of Parliament.
