Agriculture minister John Steenhuisen was widely criticised for appointing controversial podcaster Roman Cabanac as his chief of staff.
Roman Cabanac: Steenhuisen ‘tells’ chief of staff to quitAgriculture minister John Steenhuisen has reportedly told the chief of staff in his office Roman Cabanac to resign.
“In the past, I built my brand as a critic of the previous government. I pushed boundaries to gain attention on social media and sometimes made divisive, idle and poorly considered statements in the heat of online journalism. While some of the criticisms were well-founded, I also admit that others were insensitive and provocative, driven by the desire to invite debate,” he said.
