Minor party mayhem, such as the David Garrett fake passport fraud scandal, is turning voters off MMP, a poll released tonight shows.

As turmoil surrounds his party, wedding bells are on the horizon for Act leader Rodney Hide.

Phil Twyford says he didn't mean to break the rules when he used his parliamentary email to endorse local body election candidates.

A new poll suggests the saga around David Garrett's false passport and Heather Roy's ousting as deputy leader have hit the Act Party hard.

The new Act MP replacing disgraced David Garrett in Parliament has no criminal skeletons in her closet, but revealed a brothel is run from one of her investment properties.

Rodney Hide says MPs will face a tougher time over their pasts after David Garrett's identity theft revelations and subsequent resignation.

David Garrett has resigned from Parliament, following the fallout from the revelation he stole the identity of a dead infant and used it to get a fake passport.

David Garrett believes details about his identity theft were leaked by Heather Roy's supporters to discredit Act leader Rodney Hide.

Labour tried to turn the screws on John Key yesterday after he said Rodney Hide had acted to a 'high ethical standard'.

Garth George writes that the real reason to wish Act good riddance is its stupidity in managing its hypocritical MPs.

Disgraced MP David Garrett will reveal the inside story of the strife within the Act Party in an interview to be published tomorrow, according to a report this evening.
