Metiria has taken on the role of ‘musterer’ for the Greens, though with the ‘whips’ role in mind she says she would prefer to be known as the ‘Mistress’. 
She has also landed a new swag of portfolios, including Conservation and Tertiary. In this interview (MP3, 1.0MB, 6:00 min) Met talks about these new parliamentary roles.

Yeah I always thought Musterer was an odd title, it suited Ian Ewen-Street but not the other green MPs, I mean you might as well call the position “the sheepdog” and the Green MPs sheep.
I’d like to see a photo of the whip though.
Do other parties actually have a real whip?
Where did the whip come from?

More insightful questions from stuey.
Unless, of course, he’s actually kidding.
It’s hard to tell with old stuey.

She does realise that it could be construed as a sexual reference, yes?

no they are real questions, because the green party do have a real whip, a 12 foot leather number. I’m not claiming they are the most important questions of the day, but for political junkies, it would be nice to know where the whip in question came from, to see a photo of Rod Donald handing over the whip to Mistress Meyt (which apparantly is going to happen on tuesday at caucus meeting) and to find out if other parties present their whips with a real whip.

As a fellow anarcho-feminist, I assure you that the remark was made in completely bad taste,with lashings of sexual overtones!!!
Stuey, between the whips and the Beltane jokes, you’re developing quite a little profile on this blog….
That whip sounds like a complete don’t miss photo-op, how do you get press passes into the caucus meeting??? Well, frogblog is going to be awaited with baited (not abated) breath on Tuesday!

i just hope she uses it - the whip - in a caring, sharing peace-loving way. Rumour has it that the whip it safely behind glass ie break only in emergencies. Will the mistress be able to resist the temptation?

The whip! The Whip! No No anything but the whip!
ANYTHINGGG????
The whip! The Whip!

I can assure you the Meyt is quite handy with a whip; no self respecting anarcho-femme would use any other method to motivate he-cattle to haul their chariot down Ponsonby Road!
