Questions are being raised about National's promotion offer to Jami-Lee Ross, while the party's leadership knew about harassment allegations against him.

Another phone call recording was released this morning, which reveals a conversation between Ross, Simon Bridges and Paula Bennett before Ross went public with his accusations against the party. the whole saga became public.

Political editor Barry Soper told Andrew Dickens the recordings reveal a lot.

"Both of them, Simon Bridges and Paula Bennett, are saying basically that if he behaved himself, if he followed their instructions, he could return to Parliament next year and he might even be promoted."

Soper says the promotion offer reflects poorly on Bridges and Bennett, who serve as National's Leader and Deputy Leader.

"By offering him to toe the party line and he would be looked after next year in parliament, it doesn't say a lot for the seriousness with which they are treating the complaints which they were in receipt of."
