The Minister of Finance has been heckled by a man who repeatedly shouted “landlords” at her as she hosted a press conference.

Nicola Willis was answering journalists’ questions after a lunch at the Auckland Business Chamber when the man began interrupting her.

Willis was saying “one of the reasons we were elected was to ensure that, when we are investing, it’s going to the right places”.

The heckler called out: “The landlords.”

Somewhat thrown off, Willis continued “and for us, our priorities are …”, and the man interjected with his quip again.

He called out “landlords” two more times before saying “entitled people getting more entitlements”.

Willis tried to answer questions put to her by the media but the man continued heckling her.

“School lunches?

“People in wheelchairs?

“Will the landlords get enough to eat?”
