> Minister Andrew Bayly has apologised after a complaint he allegedly swore at, mocked and ridiculed a man during a ministerial visit to a business.  
>  
> The complainant says it left him feeling “degraded, embarrassed and deeply disrespected”.  
>  
> Bayly said he had “unreservedly apologised” to the person while Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says he still has confidence in the Minister – but has made it clear such actions can’t reoccur.  
>  
> Bayly said: “I obviously got this completely wrong, and I have unreservedly apologised to the person concerned.  
>  
> “It was unintentional, I meant the comments in a light-hearted manner, but I accept that they caused offence. I take responsibility for the situation, and I am sorry.  
>  
> “I regret my actions. They fall well short of the behaviour expected of a Minister, and what I expect of myself. I have also apologised to the Prime Minister, and given him my assurance it will not happen again.”  
>  
> In the complaint, **the worker said Bayly told him to “take some wine and f\*\*\* off” home. The complainant also said Bayly repeatedly called him a “loser”.**  
>  
> In a statement, Luxon said he was disappointed in Bayly’s conduct.
