Good Ol' Days
OPINION: NZ First knows its market and feeds it a constant diet of how ‘good’ the good old days were, promising to resurrect policies and icons of a bygone era.
The group, promoting free speech, is backing the Wellington Tonkin + Taylor office worker who heckled Winston Peters while the Deputy Prime Minister was announcing funding boost for the rail network, at a station.
“Employers don’t own employees time when they are commuting to work, and the choice to heckle Winston Peters has nothing to do with Tonkin + Taylor. No one asked their opinion. They have nothing to do with the situation,” says the FSU.
Wrong. Wearing a company lanyard and then calling the deputy PM “a ****** moron” in front of TV cameras isn’t a good reflection on any person or its employer. Being an employee gives this person no right to bring disrepute to his employer.
