A former National party MP believes the membership - and voters - should have been told about Sam Uffindell's past before the Tauranga by-election.

He's been stood down down from the party's caucus while an investigation is carried out into further allegations of bullying and aggression raised by RNZ.

Mr Uffindell denies the allegations.

Māni Dunlop spoke to former National MP Sarah Dowie, who experienced controversy while in Parliament, about the party's culture and what needed to change.
