Rock thrown through MP’s car window – ‘Pretty disappointed’

Waimakariri MP and Government Minister Matt Doocey said he was “pretty disappointed” that a rock was thrown through the back window of his car.

Doocey — who is the Minister for Mental Health and Associate Minister of Health — posted images from the attack on Facebook this morning.

“As the local MP for 11 years now I’ve worked hard to be accessible, respectful of other people’s views and never had this happen.”
