“The reason the op-ed came out yesterday was because the meeting was called by the Labour Whips yesterday at a time and place of their choosing and in that meeting they continued to laugh on my face saying in front of my lawyer ‘how will you even sue us, you have no legal rights’ while repeatedly refusing to investigate anything I have said or investigate me for any issue,” alleged Sharma.Įarlier today, a former staff member of Sharma told the NZ Herald that the MP was “controlling” and left her in tears and questioning self harm. Sharma denied coming forward with his own bullying allegations at the same time the National Party was facing its own crisis related to MP Sam Uffindell. “The kick in the guts however is that despite raising concerns about Kieran McAnulty, not only by me but as I understand by other members of the caucus too (which I had clearly said to the PMO) he was promoted to being a Minister of the Crown. “My bully still walks the halls of power with his head held up high, while a ‘messenger from Caucus’ advised me yesterday after my op-ed in Herald that I should take the basement exit and try to avoid Parliament,” Sharma wrote. McAnulty was also responsible for bullying other caucus members, claimed Sharma. “I thought to myself about how despite listening to and assisting many of my constituents with bullying and harassment issues, I had to put a bold face up as I struggled everyday with the thought of contemplating suicide.” Sharma said that he slowly fell into a cycle of stress and depression. Instead of protecting my identity and looking into this matter, Parliamentary Services forwarded my concerns to the Labour Party Whips and alerted them of what I had said.” As someone who took an oath to uphold and protect the interests of this country I raised my concerns with the Relationship Manager at Parliamentary Services.
“In August 2021 I found that a Member of Parliament of the Labour Party and a Parliamentary staff member (also a Labour Member) were misusing taxpayer’s money. The post also alleged misuse of taxpayer money by an unnamed Labour MP. But what was most sickening was that when I came out I saw photos of him drinking and celebrating the America’s Cup final while I sat in his office like a school kid at the headmaster’s office.” I spent close to 2 hours sitting with Kieran McAnulty’s staff in his office being told how terrible a manager I was, with no right of reply. Sharma wrote: “One of the most clearest examples was on the night of the America’s Cup final race where asked me to come to his room for a meeting on a very short notice, but when I got there I was advised that he had to be in an important meeting so couldn’t make it. The Facebook post, published earlier this afternoon, singled out Wairarapa MP Kieran McAnulty as “the main bully” and alleged he was responsible for “gaslighting me, shouting at me, degrading me in front of caucus members”. It follows an opinion piece penned by Sharma that was published in the NZ Herald yesterday afternoon, in which the Hamilton West MP raised concerns of bullying, including by the Parliamentary Services, but did not name anyone specifically responsible. How it unfolds remains to be seen, but the near-term market signals aren't particularly encouraging.Backbench Labour MP Gaurav Sharma has taken to Facebook with a number of serious allegations of bullying within his own caucus and parliament – and named the individual he claims was responsible. However, Abdulaziz wants the market to be certain that he's committed to staying the course. With demand uncertainties on the horizon – largely down to a high interest rate environment weighing on consumers' minds – and non-OPEC production remaining strong, there are no certainties the current Saudi strategy will pay dividends as the oil price remains stuck in the $72-77 range. Prior to his OPEC Seminar comments, Al Mazrouei told reporters that the latest cuts would be "enough" to assess the direction of the market, adding that his country would not be contributing to further cuts – something it lobbied hard for and succeeded at the last OPEC+ meeting.Īll the while, Brent – the global proxy crude oil benchmark – remains in backwardation, i.e., the current/front month crude price is trading higher than prices quoted in the futures market further down the line. "The voluntary cuts are all about market stability."
He added that the way the group assess the global oil market "differs" from how traders and speculators approach it. United Arab Emirates' Energy Minister Suhail Al Mazrouei told the OPEC Seminar that an "appreciation" of what OPEC+ is doing seems to be "missing" from global oil market commentary. Unsurprisingly, Abdulaziz's stance received a strong backing from his OPEC peers.
