Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on more politicians criticising Tamatha Paul
Green MP Tamatha Paul has copped more criticism from her political peers.
The Wellington Central MP's been under fire over comments she made last week criticising police beat patrols - and suggesting all they do is throw away homeless people's possessions.
Tamatha Paul reiterated those claims in further interviews.
She also claimed a woman was imprisoned for stealing $12 worth of items - and when questioned, could not verify whether what she was told was true or not.
Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this isn't a good look.
