Don’t boo Jacinda

Newshub reports:

Social media has erupted in debate after Jacinda Ardern was seemingly booed at during the All Blacks v Wallabies Test at Eden Park.

As the announcer called for the to hand the Bledisloe Cup to captain Kieran Read, there was a noticeably loud amount of booing from the crowd.

It's led to debate on social media about whether it is acceptable to boo a politician at a sports event.

I'm firmly of the view you should never boo a politician when they are presenting awards etc. It is disrespectful to those receiving the award.

In fact I don't support booing politicians at all. It's just puerile.

I'll heckle a politician at a political event, if they say something I disagree with. But I won't boo them. Not even Winston.

So people shouldn't boo the Prime Minister. It reflects more on them than her, if they do so.
