Phil Goff sacked after comment about Trump

[harm_less]

This seems very much over the top; his comment was simply asking a question, & asking whether Trump understands history is certainly relevant to current events. I'm not a fan of his but surely any politician asking that particular question is doing their job.

The problem is that Goff wasn't in a politician's role when he made those comments but was a diplomat. Different set of criteria in play as to what can be publicly voiced in either of those positions.
