Analysis - Gaurav Sharma is expelled but he's not giving up his campaign against Labour. Sharma is still an MP and he is now free of any party discipline, not that he seems to have accepted that he ever was. The Herald recognised this danger to Labour, headlining its report on the expulsion 'ACT open to Sharma speaking slot'. He said Mallard told him that if he raised anything about a Labour colleague, any challenges, it would be the end of his political career. The government this week pushed through two bills to reform Oranga Tamariki and state care monitoring through Parliament.
