One NZ is changing its marketing campaign with the removal of a character who was played by an actor involved in protest outside Winston Peters’ house.
The actor, Acacia O’Connor, had given out the home address of the foreign minister, and encouraged other pro-Palestine protesters to join, in the incident last week.
It had spurred criticism from parliament, with Peters voicing strong rebukes on social media, while Finance Minister Nicola Willis on Tuesday had also commented.
In a statement, One NZ said, “We don’t back any behaviour that puts people’s safety at risk. What’s happened doesn’t line up with our values, so we’re taking the character out of our marketing.”
