Who’s paying for Helen’s welcome? You are.
Is there anyone who can offer a compelling reason why the NZ taxpayer should be picking up the tab for the Maori welcome that new UN bureaucrat Helen Clark enjoyed this morning to welcome her into her new job?
Interesting comment so who is paying exactly? Who would be able to tell us this? Where was the function held? Who would you ask? John Campbell? or better yet Paul and Ally?
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Actually the taxpayer is not paying. I asked McCully's office and they said MFAT is not funding the Maori King etc.
ReplyDeleteI guess the UN is paying? So we may be paying 0.1% of the cost.
Maybe Tainui is paying?
ReplyDeleteBut thanks for clearing up the matter David.
I was to post on the matter too.
Chap from the UN told Sean Plunket this morning that the UN is not paying.
ReplyDeleteSo if the payments were not made by McCully's department . . .
