Richard Worth investigated for being a nuisance towards women
Well, this will give the feminists something to discuss. Richard Worth resigned as a minister last night but nobody would say why. He said he resigned for “ personal reasons”. John Key said had he not resigned he would have been sacked.
Now we find out that Key investigated an allegation that he was a “ nuisance towards women” - which Phil Goff told him about - and is currently under investigation by the police for another matter. The Herald doesn’t know what that matter is and wants the public to tell its reporter so that reporter can be the first to tell the public. It is not the only media outlet wanting to know.
We should be told - and quickly. Cam Calder could still be an MP . Worth is a list MP - but perhaps not worthy of being one.
Update Newstalk ZB political editor Barry Soper says it is clear from what John Key says, that it involves a woman. The complaint was made two weeks ago.
