The Greens have lost another staffer just a few weeks after their chief of staff resigned.<\/p>\n

The party’s chief of staff Eliza Prestidge-Oldfield resigned last month<\/a> “to focus on her health, wellbeing and wh\u0101nau”.<\/p>\n

At the time, co-leader Marama Davidson said Prestidge-Oldfield had decided to step away from the position after “careful consideration”.<\/p>\n

“This has not been an easy decision for her to make, given the huge contribution that Eliza has made to the Green Party over many years,” Davidson said.<\/p>\n

On Friday afternoon, the Greens’ director of communications Louis Day announced he was resigning from his role to take a break before finding a new challenge for his career.<\/p>\n

The exits come after a turbulent term – coloured by scandal and tragedy – for the party.<\/p>\n
