Businessman and politician Sir Bob Jones has died at the age of 85.
“I can confirm on behalf of the family that Sir Robert Jones died peacefully at home surrounded by family after a brief illness,” The NZ general manager of Robert Jones Holdings confirmed on Friday.
Jones imposed himself on the New Zealand consciousness like few other businesspeople of his time.
He amassed a multi-billion portfolio of commercial buildings in Auckland, Wellington, and Glasgow, Scotland, as well as forming a political party to challenge Robert Muldoon’s National Party.
I’d say he’ll be missed, but I’d be lying.
People think of him fondly purely because he was around for ages
People live with cancer for many years and die from something else
At least this cunt is gone from Aotearoa, about 84 years too late, but it’s better than him doing even more harm
I’m not sure many people do remember him fondly, it’s only the far right critters that seem to have any fondness for him.
Imagine Heather Duplisee-allen and David Seymour making public statements saying you’ll be missed.
