 A high-profile MP is being accused of bullying and destroying the reputation of a woman who's claimed political interference in the public service, Erin Lee. And I really wish I was stronger, but I can't. I'm sorry. Erin Lee took on the government. Now she claims she's paying the price. Erin Lee had repeated competence issues. Erin Lee is just a bully and to pick on somebody that's just an ordinary citizen I think is really below the belt. The Cabinet Minister attacked her after she went public with claims his colleague David Parker pushed officials into hiring Labour Party activist Claire Curran to look after his personal political agenda. I didn't enter that sort of boxing ring. I'm not a politician so it's a really, really hard blow. I've never tripped up. I've never stuffed up. I've done the job.
