One NZ has removed actress Acacia O’Connor from its ad campaign after she livestreamed a pro-Palestine protest outside Foreign Minister Winston Peters’ home, where a window was smashed. O’Connor regretted sharing Peters’ address, calling it an oversight that may have escalated tensions, and said her protest was peaceful and rooted in compassion. The incident led to a 29-year-old man being charged with burglary. One NZ said the actions conflicted with its values and safety principles. Political figures including National’s Nicola Willis criticized the sharing of private addresses, while Green co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick acknowledged a lapse in judgment but defended protest rights, calling criticism of peaceful demonstrators bullying.
