Just gonna pitch in here with my view - the public backlash is fine, however any punishment (being banned from NZ, kicked out of the Aussie NT) is not. Even though what he said was stupid, he’s entitled to say what he wants where he wants unless under extreme circumstances. I’d say it’s inconsiderate speech not hate speech.
