A governance and policy expert says National MP Barbara Kuriger has shown poor judgement in not earlier declaring a huge conflict of interest.
Kuriger has resigned from her spokesperson positions after revealing she's been embroiled in a family dispute with MPI.
She was spokesperson for agriculture, biosecurity and food safety.
Victoria University's Max Rashbrooke told Heather du Plessis Allan National should have processes in place to judge if there's conflicts of interest before appointing a spokesperson.
He says if the party's done that and Kuriger didn't disclose the conflict, it's all on her - but if they don't have those processes they should get them in place quickly.
