A Sir Bob Jones column which said "had it not been for migrants, mainly Brits, not a single Māori alive today" would exist, has been deleted from the National Business Review (NBR) website.
The content of the column has been called "inappropriate" by NBR and has been slammed by social media users. In the column Jones suggested a public holiday "where Maori bring us breakfast in bed or weed our gardens, wash and polish our cars and so on".
"We should introduce a new public holiday, Maori Gratitude Day, in place of the much disdained Waitangi Day."
