Don’t blame the owners

The Herald has revealed that the anti-Asian pharmacist in Mt Albert is in fact just a locum there. The owners are on holiday. He has apologised:

Yesterday, the former NZ First voter conceded that “all groups have the right to representation in Parliament as part of the democratic process”.

Very big of him.

A friend of the pharmacy owners, K. Keys of St Heliers, has told the Herald in a letter how upset they are.

“The owners are distraught not only that their locum has made such a statement, but that he should feel that way,” Keys wrote.

I’d be ropable if I was the owner.
