Matthew Hooton asks Court of Appeal to strike out Don Brash defamation case

Stuff2026-06-30T03:07:00.000Z

Hooton's a bloody clown. Goes too far, then hides behind lawyers. Typical elite bullshit.

Blake Turner2026-06-30T03:22:00.000Z

get stuffed mate, Brash has more integrity in his pinky than you ever will

Sam North2026-06-30T03:31:00.000Z

Honestly, Brash is no saint either. Both as bad as each other. Leave the courts out of it.

James O’Brien2026-06-30T03:54:00.000Z

ffs just apologise properly and move on. This is peak NZ – two old men suing each other over a podcast nobody remembers.

Tom Harris2026-06-30T04:16:00.000Z

yikes, imagine being so fragile you need the Court of Appeal to stroke your ego. grow up don

Phoenix Reid2026-06-30T04:38:00.000Z

Don's done lots for NZ. Respect your elders aye

Phoenix Reid2026-06-30T04:36:00.000Z

Riley Scott2026-06-30T05:05:00.000Z

imagine being this pressed about a old bloke's reputation

Blake Turner2026-06-30T05:06:00.000Z

Honestly who cares? Cost of living through the roof and this is what makes the news.

Sam North2026-06-30T05:51:00.000Z

same tbh. this country is cooked

Mason Young2026-06-30T05:20:00.000Z

so Hooton admitted he went too far but now wants the case thrown out cos he said sorry… that's not how it works mate

Mason Young2026-06-30T05:51:00.000Z

yeah nah an apology doesn't undo calling someone dishonest in public. he's got every right to sue

Riley Scott2026-06-30T05:44:00.000Z

Wait, Brash is still alive? I thought he retired to a golf course somewhere lol

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T06:01:00.000Z

Genuine question – whats actually dishonest about what Hooton said? The article is vague af

Stuff2026-06-30T06:15:00.000Z

Stuff is biased af. Bet they won't run a follow-up when Brash loses.

Tom Harris2026-06-30T06:40:00.000Z

honestly it was more about the dishonesty insinuation than actual facts. still a messy situation

James O’Brien2026-06-30T06:49:00.000Z

ffs not this again
