Professor Robert MacCulloch: Why does the Helen Clark Foundation say it is "non-partisan" when it is not non-partisan?

Why does the Helen Clark Foundation say it is "non-partisan" when it is not non-partisan? Why does it quietly appear to be taking Taxpayer Subsidies when it is really a Labour think tank?

The Helen Clark Foundation is a Charitable Trust, registered by the Charities Commission. It proudly proclaims, "We are an independent, non-partisan public policy think tank based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland". If you believe it is independent & non-partisan, you'd believe anything.
