Maiki Sherman leaves TVNZ

I’m saddened by this. I don’t think you should be pushed out of your job due to one bad thing you said. We need less cancel culture, not more. People should be able to make mistakes and not lose their jobs because of them.

I do think the incident was reportable, just as if it had been a press secretary who had said what she said.

If Maiki had done a public statement similar to the above the day after it happened, then the final paragraph would not have occurred (in my opinion).
