Met him a couple of times. Regardless of what people think of him, friends of mine teenage kid was helped through a tough time, that could have ended very badly, by one of his funded services. So people can ridicule or question him as much as they like or use this funding to attack the government because they simply don't like them. I'd suggest they have no idea what they are talking about.
Don't know and haven't met the son.
I am not ridiculing him nor am I questioning his integrity and never suggested that.
The last govt spent $45m - almost double the whole gumboots funding support to ‘help disabled people find and keep rental homes’ according to the RNZ article posted.
Oh no. Not the ol' Juju one eyed man baby. Does that shit actually work on anyone? So ironic because it's really quite childish.
Thanks for the question W2D
Have you actually read auditor generals comments on the procurement process?
That is the point you so clearly are missing. There is so much that previous governments weren't scrutinized on but here you are as the biggest hypocrite of all.
The burden is on you to provide evidence of it, otherwise you come of as a bit hysterical.That is the point you so clearly are missing. There is so much that previous governments weren't scrutinized on but here you are as the biggest hypocrite of all.
Perhaps you could give them some PR education and help them out
'Unusual and inconsistent' process to justify $24m 'Gumboot Friday' contract, auditor-general finds
Officials were "put in a difficult position" by a coalition deal to fund Mike King's initiative, the auditor-general has found. "The analysis appeared designed to retrospectively justify an outcome."www.rnz.co.nz
You really are becoming quite incoherent at times. I am genuinely worried for your mental health.

Imagine getting worked up over a few million going to mental health and not concerned previously over $15 billion. Claiming concern about how tax payer money is being spent. And then trying to use the hypocrite card.
You can settle this question of who's the hypocrite with another question: do you acknowledge both sides are equally if not more guilty of subverting the Ministry to get taxpayer funding? Or is ministry Incompetence solely responsible and they should be fired. That's two questions actually, so it doesn't so much settle anything as open up another can of worms.Imagine getting worked up over a few million going to mental health and not concerned previously over $15 billion.

“The process to identify projects and announce funding for NZUP projects took only a few months. Setting up the application process for the SRP took only weeks,” he said.
“It concerns me that significant decisions on the spending of public money continue to occur without appropriate processes for ensuring value for money and transparency.
“I think that Parliament and the public have a right to expect more for spending of this scale.”
Ryan said ministers were warned “at several points” by officials that some of the projects may not be completed on time and on budget, or deliver value for money.
Trust you w2d to bring sensible rationale into the conversation and( Inruining) my amusement.
I think the obvious answer is yes. Both left and right are guilty at times. There is ministry incompetence as well but also the direction given by ministers and government to rush through things.
Let's see what Juju has to say about that now, he has some convincing rebuttals sometimes when he's not in tears
Not much else to do this time of year but troll other Warriors fans, with the season over and our lives in ruins. Let's face it no one else will talk to us now the bandwagoners have all fucked off.Trust you w2d to bring sensible rationale into the conversation and( Inruining) my amusement.
See what I did there .
