What They Said About
"It sounds quite sinister to me. I mean the fact that there would be four guys attacking him, [from] the media reports I saw looked somewhat unprovoked, and there must be something behind that. The assault seems very vicious so obviously we wish him a speedy recovery, and I'm sure the police will be working to get to the bottom of it."
New Zealand prime minister, John Key
"We don't need security. This is a nice suburb. We run security, we run doormen on the weekend, purely to make sure we have no intoxicated [people] and no underagers at the venue. It's not about having bouncers on the door. We have doormen that meet and greet and say farewell to the guests … the bar runs very well, we have got nice clientele, and we don't need security early in the week."
Steve Holmes, general manager at Aikman's bar, where the incident occurred
