Seymour’s Q+A interview where he is defending being an arsehole was glib.
He is on a hiding to nothing and trying to defend it is a disgrace.
It shows that even when he fucks up, he refuses to acknowledge it, and blames everyone else other than himself!
I simply don’t believe anything he says any longer.
His appearance is made even more outrageous because he just threatened TVNZ over their coverage attacking his corporate slop…
‘A misuse of taxpayer-funded property’ — Seymour
Associate Education Minister David Seymour told 1News feeding the meals to Crackling the pig was “a misuse of taxpayer-funded property”.
“Our goal is to make sure that everyone enjoys these lunches so much that they’re almost going on the black market,” Seymour said.
…Bernard Hickey is scathing of David Seymour…
- David Seymour’s cut-price, nutrition-lite, small-portion, dangerously-hot, repetitive and unpopular1 school lunch programme has fallen further into disrepair. After the collapse of Libelle on Tuesday, Compass has started importing pre-cooked lunches from Australia.2
- This news came as it emerged one school on the East Coast, Nuhaka, has started feeding discarded lunches to pigs3, which was something ACT alleged happened in the last programme, which it wanted axed completely. Seymour attacked 1News’ Benedict Collins for pointing out the irony of Compass making pig food. (See video of the day below)
- The programme is now seen as performing badly by 53% of National voters and 65% of voters overall, including 60% who want the system reverted to its full Ka Ora Ka Ake state. as set up by the previous Labour Government.4
…Seymour is trying to pretend to be reasonable but Jack Tame wasn’t allowing any of that bullshit.
This is Crackling…
…David Seymour’s corporate slop is only acceptable to pigs.
In David Seymour’s world everyone is wrong except him.
His level of self delusion is Trumpian.
Jack catches him out on the actual popularity of Charter Schools which Seymour portrayed as hugely popular. He put money aside for 35 state schools to move to Charter Schools yet barely a dozen have!
That despite him claiming huge interest.
Again, according to David this all seems to be everyone’s else’s problem, not his.
Jack moves onto Seymour’s bullshit deregulation programme.
He claims we spend too much time in Forestry on compliance rather than production, but ask the people whose homes we destroyed by forestry slash, ask the people who have lost loved ones in forest accidents. Seymour wants to strip away the safety and environmental standards so there is more slash and more deaths just to lift ‘productivity’.
Productive to who?
His claim to deregulate hairdressing so you can have a glass of wine while getting your hair cut as some sort of fucking saviour to the economy would be farcical if it weren’t so stupid!
Seymour is increasingly under pressure beyond his feral support base.
New Zealanders should recoil from such toxic policies from a one eyed God who thinks he’s always right.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Out of the so many debacles and botchups that Seymour has played a part in I cannot trust anything he says.
He is proving time and again to be Highly Incompetent. Why Luxon keeps defending him just beggars belief!!!
He will in his pure arrogance and Superiority Complex blame everyone else but the face staring back at him in the mirror. I am sure he still keeps blaming Labour because that is the Cowards’ Way Out when caught in a corner of HIS OWN MAKING.
It’s like he deems himself so much better than everyone else on the planet. He has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This is what I found on Google about NPD but it does seem to apply to many politicians and those in positions of power eg Donald Trump.

The 40 year old virgin never was smart, or clever…he’s just another of life’s delusional dickheads who has found his way into power via big money backing combined with cheating the system.
Any fool can see that his pathetic little ideological reckons are based on zero research….there is no ‘quid pro quo ‘ factored in to anything that he wet dreams about….. scrub your head out at that thought.
He is a clown…a dangerous clown..very much in the mold of Simeon Brown …both suffering from small man syndrome.
Should he be allowed to continue with his ridiculous wankery Luxon will need to give him his marching orders.
Kiwis leaving in droves .. hmmm…i wonder why?
.
Yeah but see more always smuggles sneaky language like changing “these kiwis are being harmed” to most New Zealanders believe in law and order. The same as how every other Jew speaks.
“The same as how every other Jew speaks.”
Beg your pardon?
Do you hate Jews?
What’s that got to do with burnt plastic kids meals?
When it all turns to shit and blame the interviewer is a so outdated method of politics. Just resign Seymour and stop the embarrassment.
Like a Jew
Seymour, behind his weak smile, is a dangerous, destructive asshole.
However that 1News piece was biased political rubbish, right down to the kids eating what looked like marmite sandwiches, that had no place on any serious news program.
The Act policy was to end school lunches but failing to achieve that in coalition negotiations Seymour was trapped by his own conceit and hubris into running a new corporatized programme. Had he been smarter he would have forced a restricted budget on schools. At $3 a meal the programme costs just under $150m per year. He should have said to each school involved “Here’s your $3, if you want to spend more that’s up to you “
“He should have said to each school involved “Here’s your $3, if you want to spend more that’s up to you “
But that’s the point ACT is against teachers, parents, kids, school committee, lunchladies, having any semblance of community it’s all Thatcherite individuals no such thing as society ideaology. He cancelled the old lunches for idealogy not cost.

Hold power to account. Surely that’s the role of the media … although the ground is getting more and more swampy by the decade and for many that noble position is becoming a distant ideal. The problem these days in that exposing all the wrongs the media frequently cook up some over-the-top story, biased not even disguised, supported by selective images to drive home the message. But then when reason fails the only resource is sensationalism. Is it?
Crash and burn, mofo Seymour.
Why do the media give the arse hole air time .
For glorious moments like this morning Gordon, for when DS opens his mouth and makes an arsehole of himself for all to see.
Martyn – Just give the school $3 per student, per day to spend.
Even better go back to the previous healthy options under Labour whatever the cost was and cancel the landlord rebate scheme to pay for it.
yep a much better investment than funding the rent criminals .At least those kids will see the folly of have an economy based on selling houses that will soon become so expensive the economy will implode .
Seymour is a smirking arsehole glove puppet with absolute zero human values
Clive, I agree with Seymour when he said there are two New Zealand’s, one that is inhabited by ordinary genuine people who are not glove puppets and one that is inhabited by self serving arseholes and glove puppets like himself. I would add the latter NZ is best known colloquially as Planet Key.
yes some one has their hand up his arse and working his mouth because his brain is clearly not too well .
I agree. It’s animal abuse to feed Seymour’s microplastic infused slop. The ‘meals’ should be returned to the front doorsteps of the likes of Seymour and the directors of Compass.
Seymour has out-smarted himself. As many point out, it’s everyone else’s fault, never his.
His charter schools are not that popular because sensible people realise that a change in govt. will upset their carefully rigged plans.
Do many charter school have large open playgrounds and outside areas like proper schools? Why would you send your child somewhere cramped and not built to be a school? Reading reviews of charter schools the comments appear to fall into 2 categories.
The parents say yes, it’s going to be great. My child will blossom here.
The ex-pupils have a very different opinions about the schools with many claiming to have loathed the schools and the people running them. The advertising was mis-leading, in other words.
Also of note is that their comments are frequently poorly written. They didn’t learn to express themselves well at those schools.
Mr. Seymour is a cuckoo in the nest. He is seeking to throw NZders out of their nest so that his backers and donors can have it. It’s all a facade with Mr. Seymour. He has an ideology and he wants to implement it or else. There will be no meeting people half-way, no debate, no compromise. He intends to get his own way, as always. People who have known him a long time will know this to be true. He must win at all costs.
Why is it so hard to feed hungry kids with good food regardless of the reasons why they are hungry.
Remember these kids are our future tax payers who will pay the super in the future.
Give them a good start with a full belly to learn with.
The depth, of his me who else, will be his undoing, nono am always, goin here. the rest well, my hubris, does not allow.
Well at least he can get pissed while getting a hair do and that pig will be well fed .I also saw a sheep moving in for a feed .Future healthy lunches right there .
