Metiria Leanne Agnes Stanton Turei (born 1970) is a New Zealand academic and former politician. She was a Member of Parliament from 2002 to 2017 and the female co-leader of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand from 2009 to 2017. Turei resigned from the co-leader position on 9 August 2017 amid a political controversy arising from her admission to lying to the Ministry of Social Development to receive higher payments when she was on the Domestic Purposes Benefit and later, to being enrolled to vote in an electorate where she was not eligible when she was 23.<ref name="rnz-turei-resigns" />

She was the Green Party spokesperson on Inequality, Justice, and Building and Housing.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She resigned as co-leader of the Green Party and a list candidate immediately prior to the 2017 general election and retired from politics.<ref name="auto">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Early years

Metiria Turei grew up in a working-class Māori family in Palmerston North in the North Island.Template:Sfn She is of Ngāti Kahungunu and Āti Hau nui a Pāpārangi descent.<ref name=WAC1/> She failed her high school examinations and in 1987 she worked her first job as a kitchen-hand at the Hard Rock Café in Palmerston North working the late shift.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Between 1989 and 1991, Turei was the Tumuaki ("Head") of Te Iwi Maori Rawakore o AotearoaTemplate:Efn and involved with Te Roopu Rawakore o Aotearoa. Turei was a founding member of the Random Trollops performance art troupe.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She studied law at the University of Auckland and later worked as a commercial lawyer at Simpson Grierson.Template:Sfn

Political career

She was a candidate for the McGillicuddy Serious Party in the 1993 election, for the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party in the 1996 election and for McGillicuddy Serious again in the 1999 election. In 2001 she stood as the Green Party candidate for Mayor of Auckland, finishing a distant fifth with 2.05% of the vote.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Member of Parliament

Template:NZ parlbox header Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox footer In the 2002 general election, the Green Party received 7.00% of the vote, which allowed them 9 seats in Parliament.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Turei, standing in Template:NZ electorate link, was ranked 8th on the Green Party's party list, and so entered Parliament as a list MP. When she was elected, Turei left her job as a corporate lawyer for Simpson Grierson to become a Member of Parliament.

She retained her place in Parliament ranked 6th on the Greens' list in the 2005 election when she stood in Template:NZ electorate link.

2005–2008

In 2009, Turei's Misuse of Drugs (Medicinal Cannabis) Amendment Bill was drawn from the member's ballot.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The bill received a conscience vote at its first reading, but was defeated 84–34.<ref>New Zealand Parliamentary Debates 655 4850.</ref> Later that year, her Liquor Advertising (Television and Radio) Bill was also drawn, but it too was defeated.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Turei in 2008

In 2008 she was ranked 4th on the Green Party's list and stood in the Dunedin North electorate. She lost the election in Dunedin North to Labour's Pete Hodgson, finishing third with 11.09%<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> of the vote. However she was returned to parliament due to her high ranking on the Green Party list.

2008–2011

On 30 May 2009 Turei was elected as the fourth co-leader (and second female co-leader) of the Green Party. Green Party policy at the time required that there be both a male and a female co-leader. She was elected ahead of veteran MP Sue Bradford.

In July 2009 Turei's Marine Animals Protection Law Reform Bill, intended to strengthen protection for dolphins and other marine mammals, was drawn from the member's ballot.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The bill was defeated at its first reading later that month.<ref>New Zealand Parliamentary Debates 656 5273.</ref>

In September 2009 Turei led the Green campaign opposing the government's plans to allow mining in New Zealand's national parks.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Her Crown Minerals (Protection of Public Conservation Land Listed in the Fourth Schedule) Amendment Bill, which aimed to strengthen the protection for national parks, was drawn from the member's ballot in April 2010.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

2011–2014

In October 2012 her Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009 (Application to Casinos) Amendment bill was drawn from the ballot. Before its first reading however, National, ACT and United Future said they would not be voting for it.<ref>Template:Cite news Template:Dead link</ref>

Turei, along with the rest of the Green Party, voted in support of Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Act 2013, allowing same-sex couples to legally marry in New Zealand.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

2017 general election

File:I stand with Metiria activists.jpg

During the 2017 election campaign, Turei publicly stated during an interview on TVNZ's Q+A Show that the New Zealand First leader Winston Peters "was on a roll partly because of a very racist approach to immigration." Her comments triggered fierce criticism from Peters and NZ First Deputy Leader Tracey Martin, who rejected Turei's claims and warned that there would be consequences for the Greens in any post-election talks with NZ First. Turei refused to apologise and reiterated that the Greens were still committed to negotiating a coalition deal with NZ First following the election.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On 16 July 2017, during the launch of the Green Party's 2017 election campaign, Turei admitted to benefit fraud over a period of three years in the early 1990s, stating that she had not disclosed to Work and Income New Zealand that she was accepting rent from flatmates. Turei justified her action on the grounds that she and her young daughter depended on the Domestic Purposes Benefit to survive. During the campaign, Turei advocated raising the domestic purposes benefit for solo parents and low-income families.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Turei's disclosure attracted polarising responses from other politicians, the New Zealand media, and blogosphere, and criticism from Social Development Minister Anne Tolley, Labour Party leader Andrew Little, and media commentators Barry Soper and Patrick Gower.<ref name="Stuff 26 July 2017">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The left-wing journalist Chris Trotter and blogger Martyn Bradbury spoke out in support of her, faulting what they considered Work and Income's "punitive" treatment of beneficiaries.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> When the next Colmar Brunton poll came out covering the period 22 to 27 July, the Green vote had surged to 15%, with some of the support coming from Labour which had fallen to 24%. The low ratings caused Little to resign the Labour Party leadership on 1 August.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

The right-wing pressure group New Zealand Taxpayers' Union announced it would invoice her $57,000 in damages but she said it was a political stunt and she would not respond. Some beneficiaries and anti-poverty advocacy groups spoke in support of Turei<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and she said she had spoken with other beneficiaries who had been withholding information about their benefit status from Work and Income.<ref name="Stuff 26 July 2017" /> Turei also advocated an amnesty on beneficiaries, while acknowledging that she had not been aware of an amnesty instituted during the 1990s.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On 26 July 2017, Turei announced that she would be meeting with the Ministry of Social Development's investigative unit to calculate how much she would pay back in compensation.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> It was then revealed that in 1993 Turei had been enrolled to vote at the same address as her child's father. Turei denied living with the father, which would have disqualified her eligibility for the domestic purposes benefit. She stated that she had enrolled at that address in order to vote for a friend; such conduct constitutes an offence under the Electoral Act.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>Template:Qn

On 7 August 2017,<ref>Template:Cite press release</ref> Green Party MPs David Clendon and Kennedy Graham announced that they were planning to resign as Green Party candidates for the 2017 election, due to the fraud revelations and Turei's handling of the resulting situation.<ref name="graham-clendon-rnz-1" /> Both Clendon and Graham resigned from the party caucus the following day,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> after the party made moves to remove them.<ref name="graham-clendon-rnz-1">Template:Cite news</ref>

Turei resigned as co-leader of the Green Party and as a list candidate for the 2017 election on 9 August 2017, saying that the "scrutiny on [her] family has become unbearable."<ref name="rnz-turei-resigns">Template:Cite news</ref> She stated that her intention was to not return to Parliament after the election.<ref name="rnz-turei-resigns" /> Not being on the list meant that, if she failed to win the electorate of Te Tai Tonga where she was standing, she would not return to Parliament after the election. During August, the Green party fell in opinion polls to around the 5% threshold, below which there wouldn't be representation in Parliament, and Labour's new leader, Jacinda Ardern, generated such a turnaround that by the end of the month, Labour overtook National in the ratings.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In its 26 August edition, the New Zealand Listener summarised the situation as follows:<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Template:Cquote

The media outcry over the case and extensive coverage given to the benefit fraud by the mainstream media in New Zealand has led to claims of political agendas being promoted by the media. Specifically the case has been contrasted with that of Bill English (and the relative lack of media and public "outrage"), and to a lesser extent, that of John Key.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

According to The Spinoff journalist Madeleine Chapman, Turei's resignation had come as a result of Ardern sending two members of her team, rumoured to be Grant Robertson and her chief of staff Neale Jones, to inform Greens co-leader Shaw and his team that Ardern would not be giving Turei a cabinet or ministerial position within a potential Labour government. As a face–saving measure, Turei had organised her own press conference where she announced that she would not ask for a ministerial position in a Labour–led government but would remain co-leader of the Greens until the 2017 election.Template:Sfn

During the 2017 election, Turei contested the Te Tai Tonga Māori electorate (which covers Wellington and the entire South Island). She was defeated by Labour's candidate Rino Tirikatene<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and retired from politics.<ref name="auto"/>
