Unite Union offers Freyberg High School students support in wake of David Seymour protest

A union has stepped forward to offer assistance to students from Freyberg High School who might face disciplinary actions following a protest involving ACT leader David Seymour.

During Seymour’s visit to the school in Palmerston North he was met with a haka by some of the students. One student spat at Seymour’s feet, leading to potential disciplinary actions against the involved students. Others rushed towards Seymour’s car as he attempted to leave.

In the wake of the incident Unite Union said it was willing to provide professional advice and support to the students involved in the incident, drawing parallels between this protest and a 2006 school strike that played a role in ending youth rates and establishing union rights at McDonald’s.

‘Students should be encouraged to speak truth to power. In 2006, it was youth rates and union rights for young workers. In March 2024, it’s about prioritising school lunches over tax cuts for landlords and trying to re-write Te Tiriti o Waitangi. These are important issues and, as is often the case, it is young people leading the fight,’ said union national assistant secretary Gerard Hehir.

The school’s principal Graeme Williams said the behaviour was unacceptable and pledged to instigate a disciplinary process.

  1. Young people should lead the fight for Firearms Reform, thus removing the Assault Rifles, Pistols and some types of Shotguns from the forbidden list that Communist puppet Ardern enacted.
    Such will be needed to implement ARMED NEUTRALITY to prevent an invasion of New Zealand from hostile nations that are engaged in war, and remove New Zealand as an active participant in the Zionist Proxy Wars that have put many of the Western Nation’s youths in body bags!
    I recommend that the students get involved at the local shooting ranges, join the Cadet Forces, and consider a Citizens Militia / Home Guard to implement and support the NZDF from invading forces.
    Seymour is doing the bidding of his constituents and campaign donors in Epsom, a good majority of which are Jewish, as admitted by Seymour himself.
    THAT explains a lot…! McKee & ‘Crusher’ Collins needs to get off the fence yesterday and restore Citizens Rights to Self-Defence with a Firearm!
