Jordan Williams Taxpayers’ union<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The tax payers union claims\u00a0to be a non-partisan activist group when it works in the interests of the National party. The tax payers union made this press release.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>Taxpayers\u2019 Union<\/span><\/b><\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>is questioning Man Booker prize winner Eleanor Catton\u2019s comments regarding the Government\u2019s support of the arts given the substantial support she has personally received from taxpayers.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The taxpayers’ union has targeted Eleanor Catton for receiving funds from the government. This was a legitimate payment to an award winning author who up until that stage had not publically criticised the National government. The Taxpayers’ union is a complete fraud that it doesn’t make strong objections when Taxpayers\u2019 money is being squandered by National party MP’s here are some examples.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Sabin<\/strong> \u2013Costing the New Zealand taxpayer millions in a byelection by concealing allegations\u00a0that would prevent him from being the chair of the\u00a0law\u00a0and order select\u00a0committee and a member of parliament.<\/p>\n

Judith Collins<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Tax funded trip to China Collins made a detour to Oravidas office on the way to the airport for a cup of tea. she “utterly and totally” rejected the allegations. In return Oravida made a $30,000 donation to the National party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Claudette Hauiti<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u2013Brought a Christmas trip to Australia using her parliamentary charge card her explanation was \u201cWell, no, I went to meet with Maori in Australia who were registered on the Maori roll.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Melissa Lee<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u2013Used Millions of dollars from her production company using NZ on air funding to pay for a promotional video for the National party.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tax payers union complained about Hone Harawira\u2019s trip to South Africa for the Nelson Mandela service. Harawira was specially invited to the Mandela household and the Tax payers union didn’t complain about Pita Sharples or John Key attending the funeral using Taxpayers’ money.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Taxpayers’ union\u00a0lacks all and any credibility the organisation has never used objectivity in any of its complaints.\u00a0Mana News is demanding the immediate resignation of Jordan Williams from the Taxpayers’ union.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
