Jacinda Ardern is refusing to blink in a steely stand-off with a mutineer Labour MP who accuses her of lying and covering up a culture of bullying in her government.
Hamilton West MP Gaurav Sharma is set to be expelled from Ms Ardern's caucus at the partyroom's next meeting on Tuesday for a serious of damaging and destructive allegations.
Dr Sharma was suspended last week for going public with serious claims for which he has produced scant evidence.
