Green MP Tamatha Paul has copped more criticism from her political peers.

The Wellington Central MP's been under fire over comments she made last week criticising police beat patrols - and suggesting all they do is throw away homeless people's possessions.

Tamatha Paul reiterated those claims in further interviews.

She also claimed a woman was imprisoned for stealing $12 worth of items - and when questioned, could not verify whether what she was told was true or not.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this isn't a good look.
