Well done Cystic Fibrosis Association

The Dom Post reports:

Cystic Fibrosis has returned a $10,000 donation made by NZ First, saying it is unclear if the party “has any right” to make a charitable donation on money wrongly spent at the last election.

The charity, one of nine understood to have received a share of the $158,000 owed by the Winston Peters-led party, announced its rejection of the money last night.

Now the Cystic Fibrosis Association is a small charity that does great work. Turning down $10,000 is a lot of money for them. They’re a charity I’ve supported in the past through sponsorship of a triathlete who competes to raise money for them.

So they are not punished for doing the right thing, I’d encourage people to donate to them. You can do an online pledge here, and of course it is also tax deductible.
