Show Notes
School principals have taken togs and snorkels along for a five-day leadership trip in Fiji.
It's one of many to hit the market since principals got a $6,000 salary boost for professional development and wellbeing.
It's prompted debate on whether they're valuable for leadership - or an opportunity to have a taxpayer-funded overseas holiday.
The Taxpayers Union's Jordan Williams says it's not a good look.
"It's two easy mornings of actual professional development, and the rest is sitting next to your private pool."
