…it’s not a good look is it?

So what do Tainui’s Te Arataura executives do in the middle of a recession when maori unemployment is at the highest level in many years? They give themselves an almighty pay rise. Then they sweeten the pot even more by back dating that pay rise, and then they ‘forget’ to tell the Tainui Parliament about the pay rise that they just gave themselves. And to top it all off, Iwi distributions are down this year.

And thats not a good look. Shame on you Mxxine Moana, Rahui Papa, and Robert Tukiri.

From Tania Martin’s November report: “…Financial analyses reflect a declining rate of distribution back to our marae and iwi. This means that the substantial increase in remuneration against the current rate of distribution, is not fair to Te Kauhanganui, and the failure to report this increase back to Te Kauhanganui, not only conflicts with the principles of transparency and accountability, but also questions the Executive’s regard for the integrity of our tribal parliament… “
