David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on students attending the Toitu Te Tiriti protests

David Seymour is urging students to stay in school tomorrow and not join protests across the country. 

Toitu Te Tiriti is urging Māori to strike countrywide across the New Zealand on Budget Day as a demonstration against a Government assault on Tangata Whenua and Te Tiriti. 

Multiple hikoi are planned, including rolling road blockages in Auckland and a rally outside the Beehive. 

Associate Education Minister David Seymour told Mike Hosking that education needs to be the top priority for students. 

He doesn't see how a protest focused on race without constructive solutions will help.
