Duncan Garner - Editor In Chief

David Seymour and the School Lunch Backfire That Blew Up

03 Dec 2025

Description

This one has everything. Politics, pressure, and a school lunch saga that went seriously sideways. Today we unpack the spectacular backfire that’s dominated the headlines, after principal Peggy Burrows tried to pin spoiled lunches on David Seymour’s free school meals programme… except the facts didn’t land where she hoped. We run through what actually happened, why the provider’s records tell a totally different story, and how a stack of week-old meals left sitting at the school turned into a national spectacle. Then, David jumps in from the back of a car heading through the Waterview Tunnel to explain the investigation, the delivery logs, and why millions of lunches have gone out without issue. Another big day on Editor in Chief. Let’s get into it. Find every episode and discover your next favourite podcast on the rova app or rova.nz Learn more about your ad choices.
