Labour And Ebonezer- The Employment Scrooges
New Zealand First leader Rt Hon Winston Peters says Labour would have sent Elizabeth Brown down the road with four weeks
pay and an employment shadow over her if it had not been for the public uproar over her sacking.
“This whole unhappy incident could have been easily avoided had it not been for the paranoid employment approach by
Labour and the people who give directions from above.
“Hopefully everybody can put this matter behind them and the media can now concentrate on the important issues before
Parliament,” said Mr Peters.
