Meet a Labour board appointee

Robert Reid is a NZ union leader who was appointed to numerous government boards by Labour.

Here he is cheering on the President of Venezuela ordering the arrest of opposition MPs, for pointing out he just massively lost the election.

Imagine if someone appointed by a National Government to multiple boards tweeted in support of say Putin arresting opponents – it would be the main news item. I’m not saying he shouldn’t have been appointed, just that the lack of scrutiny is so one sided.
