The Opportunities Party Leader Gareth Morgan is defending his Twitter style.
Responding to Tourism Minister Paula Bennett's reluctance to charge tourists to cover the cost of cleaning up after them, Mr Morgan took to twitter.
And his forthright social media comments caused the manure hit the ventilation.
That’s not even on point. It’s nothing to do with cost, it’s about crap people, crapping on us with contempt, bottom feeders & bleeders 2/3

Proper policy response? Ban camping in public places if not in self-contained camper. Take their vehicle, deport a couple as example. 3/3

But Gareth Morgan is defending the way he communicates on the social media platform. He told Morning Report he'll 'respond with interest' when provoked.
