This is New Zealand’s Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce during a press conference. He’s speaking on behalf of NZ Prime Minister John Key in a place called Waitangi.
From Buzzfeed: Waitangi is the traditional place of celebration for New Zealand’s national day which takes place annually on February 6 and marks the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. The treaty, which heralded a declaration of British sovereignty over New Zealand, was signed by representatives of the British Crown and a group of northern chiefs in 1840. Waitangi Day has since become contentious for some Māori, and since 1971 people have protested against race relations within New Zealand, as well as the loss of Māori land.
One lady decided to throw an 'adult pleasure toy' in protest. He takes it pretty well to be fair!
