Workers' Party expells student leader
Jasmine Freemantle, President of the Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association (VUWSA) has been expelled from the Workers' Party.
The Workers' Party claim this expulsion is
punishment for refusing to run VUWSA according to the wishes
of the Party.
Freemantle has been a member of the
Workers' Party since 2002, and was the longest serving
member of the Party's Wellington branch.
Freemantle stood as the Party's candidate in the Mana electorate in 2005, and as a list candidate in the 2008 general election.
This is the first expulsion of a member from the Workers' Party.
Freemantle intends to contest the expulsion at the
Workers' Party annual conference, to be held in Wellington
over Queen's Birthday weekend.

expulsion can be found at:
