ACT's David Seymour - i like his style.

Yeah, and Buffett has donated colossal amounts to charities that actually do good in the world. So he is effectively volunatrily paying a tax... he just chooses not to give it to Uncle Sam.

However, if taxes were raised for everyone in his position so that Uncle Sam got a bigger cut he would have no issue with it.

I don't really see the contradiction or hyprocrisy. Warren does put his money where his mouth is.

haha ironically Buffett donates to charities so he doesn’t have to pay taxes. His trusts and endowments are structured to minimise tax. However, I do get your point

And if I were there, I would have told the protesting students to go fxxk themselves, ideally with a broomstick up their arses.

Bloody disgrace.

Yep, absolutely disgusting.

What kind of school / teachers let students swear and spit.

And people wondering why NZ is going down the tubes?

Children are taught to respect no one from a young age.

The principal should step down. F**king disgrace

Yeah, attrocious behaviour. Embarassing for the school, the student involved and his family really.

I think David did well to not flinch and stand there.

Whether you agree or disagree with David on his Treaty Principles Bill... just trying to shout him down (like at Waitangi) or spit at him is not going to kill the idea that he has. Any idea should be debated... and when you cannot debate it and rather resort to verbal or physical abuse then you have already lost.

All these aggressive moves towards David are only hardening the views of many and will ironically make it more likely that David's Bill will ultimately gain approval.

Important not to blow this all out of proportion as it was one student playing up. David certainly didn't seem to make too much of it.

I have my suspicions as to where this behavior originates, look no further than the classroom would be my guess.

Principal says school will be taking disciplinary action. Like gently telling the offending students that they should have been more aggressive?

Fxxk the whole kura or whatever they call themselves these days.

Spitting perfectly acceptable according to a haka expert.

Methinks in 2024 they might need a New Testament…

If we can now start spitting at our leaders then I think it is time to move to Aussie.

Cultural tragics like Iti & Sharples try to excuse spitting in front of a leader as traditional protest.

Utter BS!

There was no accommodation for protest in front of the nepotistic Chiefs.

You toed the line, or suffered the consequences.

Cannibalism was traditional Iti & Sharples.

Are you going to excuse that if someone indulges?

Let's have some evolution.
