Poor example
YOUR OLD mate hears Horizons Regional Council is causing consternation in more than the rural sector with parts of its controversial One Plan.
YOUR OLD mate was a bit shocked to see financial advisor Gareth Morgan embark recently on a childish name-calling rant against Federated Farmers.
In a typical Morgan commentary piece – long on bluster but short on facts – about the One Plan Environment Court decision, he took Feds to tasks for their opposition and plans to appeal the ruling. Feds replied and called Morgan out on a couple of his claims. But instead of taking it on the chin, the so-called philanthropist reacted poorly and called the Feds among other things ‘hillbillies’ and ‘retards’. Now the Hound is no stranger to giving the Feds hard time, however, even he draws the line at petty, childish insults. The Hound is glad Feds did not reply in kind by calling the moustachioed one a dribbling moron who tends to trade on his much-more-famous and successful son’s name – as that would have been really petty!
