Jason Walls: Newstalk ZB Political Editor on Labour MP Shanan Halbert facing bullying accusations - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Another allegation of bullying in the Labour Party.

MP Shanan Halbert has been accused of bullying by several former staff dating back more than a year, labelling him “manipulative”, “scheming” and “a narcissist”.

Minor party leaders have had their say in the latest election debate.

Act’s David Seymour, the Green’s Marama Davidson, NZ First’s Winston Peters and Te Pati Maori’s Debbie Ngawera-Packer all squared off in last night’s debate on Newshub Nation.

And all parties have committed to keep school lunches going.

It’s only funded out to the end of the year, but Labour and National have expressed interest in keeping it going.

Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls joined Tim Dower.
