This is huge news.
Do Barry Soper, Jessica Mutch, Tova O'Brien, Corrin Dann & Clarke Gayford know about this.
Or is this just a secret on ST ?

Ask them. They might tell you. But probably not yet.

Real reason why Nikki Kaye decided to call it a day - must be the worse possible experience to back Todd Muller who was not up to the job.
So good on her to quit politics and do other things. Well done, Nikki & all the best.
The real reason why Nikki Kaye resigned according to Nikki Kaye and not Heather du Plessis-Allan.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-...ement-decision
Ms Kaye said since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 "there's always been a calculation of the greatest amount of contribution I can make versus being able to live and have a life".
"I don't look at life like I've got 40 years, I look very much on a shorter time frame. For me it made sense if the party and the country needed me to step up in a leadership role but then with the events that occurred I had to reassess that.
"It's not fair to people of Auckland Central or the party to have someone who is not 100 per cent in."
"You need to know when your time is up and in my view, my time is up."
Asked if it was an emotional decision, Ms Kaye said "of course... but it is absolutely the right thing".

18-20 MPs have made similar decisions so it can't all be about the family.
Anne Tolley, Paula and many of them women.

Cheers Fungus, NZ is a small place & sounds like you might know something.
I can certainly imagine her wanting to spend some time with her daughter before she grows up.

As Colonel Schultz would say 'I know nothing'.

Divisiveness rather than diversity in the National Party in my opinion. There is not unity. Different leaders = different values. Todd Muller and Nikki Kaye were more liberal and more in tune with the average New Zealander, while Judith Collins and Gerry Brownlee (aka Gerry and the Placeholders) are back to the old conservative values that the established members want. Unfortunately when you are ousted from a leadership position you are demoted and put in your place rather than retaining a senior position e.g. Paula Bennett.
Managing diversity is an on-going process that unleashes the various talents and capabilities which a diverse population bring to an organization, so as to create a wholesome, inclusive environment, that is “safe for differences,” enables people to “reject rejection,” celebrates diversity, and maximizes the full potential of all, in a cultural context where everyone benefits.
