Seymour refers to principals who give spare lunches to those in need in their communities, as akin to being “Shop Lifters!”

Pat Newman, Te Tai Tokerau Principals Spokesperson, in response says Seymour should be more worried about his inability to do anything effective to help our whanau’s in these situations.

All these inane attacks do, is to show he is either bereft of ideas or worse still, doesn’t actually care!

“What evidence does this person, living it up in the Beehive, got for instance that prove there has ever been an actual health incident from giving those needing it, lunches that are left over?”

Mr Seymour just might be better off looking at the effect of the policies he and his mates have imposed on New Zealand, policies that make increasing numbers dependent upon getting such a basic need as food, from schools.

Newman continued,” This is a person who is costing us the tax payers millions each year in expenses, flash chauffeured cars, free flights, a subsidized pension for life, salaries, support staff, and so on, yet he is so far removed from the reality of the situation, that he calls Principals “Shop Lifters!”

If I am a shop lifter does this make Mr Seymour a big time embezzler?
