Sieg Heil – just no

Stuff reports:

“Words matter, the words used by John Tamihere matter,” Chris Harris, the chief executive of the Holocaust Centre.
There has been widespread condemnation since the Auckland mayoral candidate used the Nazi slogan “sieg heil” during a debate in a central Auckland bar on Tuesday night.

Tamihere was trying to make a point that Goff should not be the arbiter of who is allowed to speak at Auckland Council venues. But his use of “Sieg Heil” was stupid, offensive and wrong.
