Tamihere asks where’s the money?
John Tamihere writes:
To cap it off, for the first time in decades, Budget 2018 actually took money away from Māori. Te Puni Kokiri loses $3 million of baseline funding over the next four years. No amount of spin by Labour’s 13-strong Māori caucus – five of whom are at theCabinet table – can hide that fact.
13 Maori MPs in Labour and they delivered a funding cut for Vote Maori Development.
