CONSUMER New Zealand, a non-profit advocacy group across the Tasman, has been blasted for reposting a 2003 article on social media slamming pharmacist behaviour during a mystery shopping exercise.
The controversial post (pictured), depicts the cover of the organisation's magazine from May 2003, with the pharmacy sector reacting with outrage at the rehashing of a 17-year-old story.
Consumer NZ has clarified that it was a "throwback" post highlighting a moment in consumer history, and "not intended as a crack at today's pharmacists".
