New Zealand politician Steven Joyce was chatting to journalists when he was he smashed in the face with a sex toy.
He had been chatting to crowds in Waitangi, near Paihia, when he suffered the assault. In the clip the member of the New Zealand National Party is surprised by the pink toy which comes flying into camera shot, hitting Joyce in the mouth.
A female protestor in the crowd, threw the sex toy and shouted: “That’s for raping our sovereignty,That’s for raping our country, because of the TPP and selling away our rights and our freedom.”
She was then dragged away by the politician’s security team. It’s assumed she had been referring the the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) which has just been signed in Auckland. the deal will deepen ties between twelves countries, including Japan, Canada, US, Japan and Peru
Steven didn’t seem bothered by the incident, he said: “Fair to say, I don’t think those sorts of things happen every day.”

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
