The New Zealand Minister of Foreign Affairs, Winston Peters, told the media on Thursday that he was “deeply regrettable” that he should act on Goff’s comments and that he would have done so if they had been made about another chief.
Goff’s comments were “deeply disappointing” and made the position of the envoy “untenable,” said Peters.
“When you are in this position, you represent the government and the policies of the day – you are unable to think freely; You are the face of New Zealand, “he added.
Goff, a former leader of the New Zealand Labor Party and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, was appointed High Commissioner in 2022.
The case echoes the case surrounding Kim Darroch, who resigned from his role as ambassador of the United Kingdom to the United States in 2019 after a series of confidential emails emerged in which the ambassador described the administration then Trump as “clumsy and inept”.
