Tosser!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: Your canine crusader understands it is very early into 2023 but he may well have already found his ‘2023 Dick of the Year’.

As people know, Auckland – and other parts of the country – were dealing with horrific flooding late last month.

Undoubtedly, the city of sails recently-elected mayor did himself few favours early on, but it’s not Wayne Brown who wins the aforementioned title.

This in fact goes to the head of communications for Greenpeace NZ – Nick Young.

This absolute knob spent the better part of the peak of the flooding taking to social media and blaming farmers and dairy cows for the disaster that was hitting Auckland.

Sure, we can talk about climate change and raise issues that might be causing it.

However, in the middle of an event when houses are being destroyed, lives being lost and people needing help, it was extremely tacky and a dick move.
