Controversial claims made by former Internet Party leader Laila Harre about her resignation from the Green Party are false, one Green MP says. In a spat on Twitter, Green MP Julie-Anne Genter said she had lost respect for Harre because of Harre's account about why she left the Greens in 2014. The former Internet Party leader had also wrongly accused the Greens of leaking sensitive information, Genter said. In fact I heard from Labour insiders it was [former Labour MP] Shane Jones." The Green MP went on to say she thought "false narratives need to be countered".
