Auditor-General reviewing provincial slush fund

Stuff reports:

The Government’s top spending watchdog says it will pay close attention to the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) and has ordered an in-depth review into aspects such as managing, monitoring, and evaluating the fund.
Controller and Auditor-General John Ryan said the PGF would be a focus for his office for  2018/19 and beyond.

As it should be. It is a reelection slush fund, not an actual development fund.
