Did you know

That Auckland City Council contributes $400,000 to the Pasifika Festival at Western Springs Park, while Manukau City Council contributes $0.

Incidentally 13% of Auckland City residents are Pacific, while in Manukau it is 28%.

To some degree it shows the problem with funding for such events happening at the territorial authority level, rather than the regional level. It is obviously a regional event, and it seems bizarre that it is funded by the residents of just one TLA.
