Even in the death throes of their fibs, still the lying goes on, and on, just as a fly dying in a trap manages a defiant buzz or three.
Bzzzzzzzz, writes Glenn McConnell on Stuff yesterday morning, bzzzzzzzz, it wasn’t a bribe: “baseless claims”, bzzzzzzzz, “false allegations”. “As part of the process, applicants were asked to show a commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, including a commitment to te reo Maori”. Glenn even presents a graphic, a sanitised graphic, to ‘prove’ [cough] his case. Poor Glenn, he thinks we’re so easily fooled.
Applicants for hand-outs of taxpayer money under the PIJF were not ‘asked’ to show anything; Glenn, they were ‘required’ to, it was a ‘must‘ to: “Actively promote the principles of Partnership, Participation and Active Protection under Te Tiriti o Waitangi acknowledging Maori as a Te Tiriti partner”.
‘Active promotion’ of a politically slanted message is called propaganda, Glenn, and accepting inducements to promote such slanted, controversial, messages is accepting bribes, mate. That’s what it is, yip, yip.
Bzzzzzzzz. There is a war on truth, Glenn, and you’re on the wrong side.
idbkiwi is self-employed in a non-governmental role which suits his masochistic tendencies. He hopes to reach retirement, both alive and eventually. This article was first published HERE

Also, each time any media applied for more funding from the Fund, they had to sign a declaration that they would meet those requirements, on the stated condition that if they did not meet those Treaty requirements, then the money would be taken back !!
Truly - this is a bribe, with threats !!
Thanks for publishing again the true provisions in the PJIF contract. Incredible that both the Labour politicians and complicit media go on lying so blatantly.
The PJIF will go down in history as one of the worst examples of political corruption NZ has seen, to date anyway. No wonder so many are obfuscating and lying.
