Two rowers from Christchurch school St Bedes who jumped onto a baggage conveyor at Auckland Airport have not been stopped from rowing in the Maadi Cup today.
The school told Jordan Kennedy and Jack Bell they would not be allowed to compete in the inter-school competition at Lake Karapiro due to their actions, but their parents disputed the decision and took the matter to court.
The High Court prevented St Bede's from implementing its decision. The Court will release the reasons for its decisions later today.
What kind of parent misses a chance to say to their kid "you screwed up, now here's the consequence"? One to whom consequences do not apply.

@edufk @mvlgrimace The boys' irresponsible conduct is for their parents, Police and Aviation Securioty to deal with, not the college
