I blogged a few days ago about The Pākehā Project, which charges $15,000 to teach people about the harm that has been caused by whiteness in the world.”
I wondered how many government agencies are clients.
Well the Taxpayers’ Union had already found out. The Post reported:
Almost $300,000 has been spent by ministries on workshops “questioning the algorithms of whiteness” – including one course that had two participants and cost $21,700. …
Statistics NZ spent the most – $166,715 (including GST) over three years for 217 staff to attend and travel to workshops and training run by The Pākehā Project. A Tangata Tiriti Workshop was held this year for 60 staff.
Taxpayer funded brainwashing.
The Ministry of Justice contracted two courses over the 2023/2024 financial year – Tiriti Workshops and Coaching and Leadership Coaching tools – at a combined cost of $102,493 for a total of 48 staff.
And MBIE spent $21,700 on one Pākehā Project course for two staff members and paid $3811 to Unity House for leadership training. The course has not been offered since 2022.
And Labour tell us that you can’t trim public spending without impacting public services. Ha.
David Farrar runs Curia Market Research, a specialist opinion polling and research agency, and the popular Kiwiblog where this article was sourced. He previously worked in the Parliament for eight years, serving two National Party Prime Ministers and three Opposition Leaders.

And people wonder why NZ has gone so very badly wrong?
What's disturbing is not only the waste of public funds but also that this rubbish is obviously government policy. Even though Te Pati Maori and the Greens are in the opposition, they are nevertheless running the country through all the woke public servants who support them and Luxon is too weak and apathetic to do anything about it.
Perhaps if we ask nicely the US might admit us to their company, and we could benefit from the big clean out Trump is about to undertake?
This is a grotesque misuse of our taxes. Next they’ll be forcing staff to host a Race to Dinner where they pay racist militants to tell them how racist & white privileged they are…despite having the same colonial ancestry. The crazy thing is some would actually volunteer; the chardonnay socialists & virtue signallers who go along with this stuff are probably the most concerning.
Presumably these activists are also just as racist towards their parents, grandparents, spouses, children & friends etc? Or is their racist vitriol & diatribe only reserved for those outside their circles?
No doubt all part of the $70billion Maori economy, substantially funded and supported by the mug taxpayers. The grievance/guilt indoctrination/ propoganda machine working in overdrive. This bs needs to end and those that endorse it on our public service held to account.
And for those that attend - only ever in their own time, on their own dime.
