Absolutely disgraceful.  No matter what your political views that is feral behaviour.

Isn't offering someone a sandwich a friendly gesture ?

well, it seems that for the most part it was not chaotic nor the feral event the media has focused on.

As an aside, this school has it's on onsite police officer on a normal basis.

at least it wasn't a shoe....

out of all days to go to a School in Logan it should not have been a day that they announce a backflip on a $600 increase to a payment that most of those kids families would have benefited from... 

As seen on Q&A kids these days are very smart.... 

Bad behaviour... a waste of food... showing disrespect... not a good look. 

BUT..

I bet these kids don't all have a laptop like they were promised. 

I bet these kids will face a high youth unemployment rate where they live... 

I bet these kids know how hard life can be..

and I bet if they had thrown it at abbot you would be outraged

Cat.... I think.... they all got the laptops...... very few of them would be getting the $600.... as a large percentage would be on benefits.....

Agree with post 1.

So you're attempting to justify throwing a sandwich at the Prime Minister in post 5 cat?

I'm curious, if you budgeted ( in your household budget ) for a payment of $600 for something specific for your children and then bills come in at a rate faster than you anticipated and you had to stop the $600 payment because it isn't a financial possibility any longer you would have to re-think your budget would you not?

But somehow if the Prime Minister or the Treasurer does it it's disgraceful.

I think you will find the majority of the kids at the school were happy and friendly towards the Prime Minister.
