Green Party MP Chloe Swarbrick has apologised "to those who have felt [offended]" by her use of a controversial pro-Palestinian phrase that academics and political and community leaders have called divisive and inflammatory. But Swarbrick has been coy on whether she'll use it again. Â
Online reaction to Swarbrick's apology has been mixed with one X user posting, "worst apology ever" and another posting, "so she's 'sorry, not sorry' then". Fellow Green Party MP Ricardo Menendez-March failed to respond to questions from Newstalk ZB Plus this morning about whether he would offer a similar apology and whether he would use the controversial phrase again.Â
