Considering she was asked about it at the start of August and sexual nature of the allegations was mentioned it’ll be interesting to see how long she can try and pretend she didn’t know .
If she does get backed into a corner and is forced to admit it she is well and truly fucked.
Pretty much every media outlet in the country has turned on her and the accused name is all over twitter.

And only really screwed as the moral high ground was seized with 'you don't have to lie to be in politics'. Don't do that, and don't say one thing and do another with #metoo and there are paths out of this mess. Right now it looks ugly for the short term, and probably the medium and long term too.

She could have learned a lot from John Key. Don't categorically state facts on record. This is starting to take on a Turei/Greens type feel. The government won't collapse, but they will take a hit for this. The only saving grace for them is this is not election year, so release a few puff pieces about the first child later and try to distract the public

@nzzp just so I'm clear, this is the woman fawning all over the world telling people how to live right? NZ should be a safe space. Controversial speakers are not allowed. Ban people from the internet. Be nice and inclusive to everyone.
Just checking...

Will be very interesting to see if Jacinda does survive this. Anyone else in the party with at least some popularity that can take the reigns?
Or anybody in the party that thinks they are popular who is happy to knife Jacinda? Probably more the key point.

Alison Mai just wrote this for the Guardian, here’s the money quote
“Another investigation into “predatory” and intimidating behaviour – by a different man – was launched in February, but not before a survivor group of at least 12 had made increasingly desperate attempts to get help from senior party figures over many months. They tell me one senior female party official even brushed off their concerns with this bit of classic gaslighting: “Oh that’s just [name withheld].”

Stuff.co.nz's hands were pretty tied here, move aside government sex scandal, gay contrails are what the NZ public are really interested in on the front page today.
