Prime Minister Helen Clark and
President of the Labour Party Mike Williams say that Mr
Field's public comments amount to an announcement of
intention to run against Labour at the next election and so
have invited expulsion.
His membership of the Labour
Party is effectively at an end. The President will now be
recommending Mr Field's expulsion to the New Zealand Council
of the Party.
