Dodgy!
OPINION: If you believe Maori Party president John Tamihere’s claim that “nothing dodgy” occurred at Manurewa Marae during the last election, the Hound has a bridge to sell you.
In fact, this old mutt's editor even received a terse note from the head of NZ on Air, which administers the fund, with 'she/her' insisting that he... "take seriously your responsibility not to disseminate misinformation and correct the misinformation".
In that vein, your canine crusader would like to correct his earlier claim that the weakly (sic) rural publisher received $90,000 care of the PIJF.
The company actually took $130,000 of taxpayer monies to - as outlined in criteria to qualify for PIJF funding - "actively promote the principles of Partnership, Participation and Active Protection under Te Tiriti o Waitangi".
Let's hope that clarifies things once and for all!
