【信报消息】22日，新西兰移民部长伊恩·里斯·加洛韦（Iain Lees-Galloway）因不当行为被免职。
此前，新任国家党领导人朱迪斯·柯林斯(Judith Collins)提交给总理杰辛达·阿德恩（Jacinda Ardern）的第三方举报中提到了加洛韦有不当行为。
总理阿德恩于新西兰时间周三11点召开了新闻发布会。
在新闻发布会上，阿德恩介绍说，周二下午3点左右，阿德恩办公室收到一封第三方直接发来的电子邮件，称移民部长伊恩·里斯·加洛韦与下属机构的一名前工作人员存在长达12个月的不正当关系。
阿德恩说，这是她第一次听到这样的指控。
阿德恩向加洛韦提出了这些问题和指控。加洛韦回复说，他们的关系是双方自愿的。
阿德恩认为他的部长职位难以为继。
阿德恩说，“他的行为没有起到模范作用。”
加洛韦被免职后，卡梅尔·塞普洛尼（Carmel Sepuloni）将负责ACC，安德鲁·利特尔（Andrew Little）将负责工作关系，克里斯·法费伊（Kris Faafoi）将负责移民事务。
加洛韦与前工作人员的关系几个月前已经结束。在与加洛韦建立关系的时候，这名员工正在为一个机构工作，不是在他的办公室。
阿德恩说，加洛韦与前工作人员的这种关系“完全不合适”（entirely inappropriate），他表现出“缺乏判断力”（lack of judgement）。
阿德恩把是否再次参加9月19日大选的决定留给了加洛韦，尽管她对他担任部长已经失去了信心。
她说，“我们需要保持一种标准和文化。”
阿德恩说，不管情况如何，她的决定都是一样的——解除加洛韦的部长职务。
阿德恩说，她已经被告知，纳税人的钱并没有被用来维持这种关系，她将要求部级服务部门证实这一点。

伊恩·里斯·加洛韦发布了一份个人声明，以下为声明内容：
“我接受总理的决定，并绝对道歉。我在我的职位上做了完全不恰当的事，我不能继续担任部长了。我让家人失望了，我已经向他们道歉。请尊重他们的隐私。我也向因我的行为而受到伤害的人道歉。”
总理阿德恩发布了一份声明，以下为声明内容：
PM statement on Iain Lees-Galloway
This morning I am announcing that I have dismissed Minister Iain Lees Galloway as a Minister.
Yesterday afternoon the leader of the opposition advised me of an email she had received that related to Iain Lees Galloway. She conveyed to me that she had asked the individual to relay anything directly to my office.
No other details were provided to me.
My Chief of Staff subsequently contacted the Leader of the Opposition’s office to pass on contact information, should that be required by the correspondent. At around 3pm my office received an email directly from a third party alleging that the Minister had an inappropriate relationship with a former staffer who worked in one of his agencies.
This was the first time that I had heard such allegations.
At around 5.45pm last night I sat down with the Minister and put a range of questions and allegations to him. He confirmed that a consensual relationship had occurred, that it involved someone who had previously worked in his office and had been based in one of his agencies.
I want to be clear up front, I wish to protect the identity of the person so will avoid providing any details over and above those necessary to explain my decision that may reveal who they are. I request that the media and other politicians respect this.
Over the course of the conversation with the Minister, it became clear to me that his position as a Minister was untenable. I advised him of that at the time.
The Minister has shown a lack of judgment over a period of 12 months.
In undertaking this relationship he has opened himself up to accusations of improperly using his office.
He has not modelled the behaviour I expect as a Minister that is in charge of setting a standard and culture in work places.
His actions have led me to lose my confidence in him as a Minister.
The Minister takes full responsibility for his actions and accepts my decision. He has also decided not to stand at the next election.
Carmel Sepuloni will become the Minister for ACC, Andrew Little will become the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety and Kris Faafoi will become Minister for Immigration.
My final comment is this. Politics is a place where we do need to maintain standards, and politicians should pay the price for mistakes, their families should not. I do ask that we try and maintain that distinction.
