BUDGET 2016- WHĀNAU ORA TO RECEIVE $40 MILLION Whānau Ora will receive a $40 million boost over the next four years, allowing it to substantially increase the number of whānau it can support. Budget 2016 also includes $4 million to provide microfinance to whānau and $5 million to go toward increasing Māori electoral participation. The $4 million over the next four years to provide microfinance to whānau aims to improve financial independence for whānau, including whānau-led small and medium enterprises. Increasing Māori electoral participation is also a feature of Budget 2016, with $5 million provided in operating funding over the next four years…. www.maoritelevision.com/news/national/budget-2016-whanau-ora-receive-40-million

$40 MILLION FOR UNPROVEN WHĀNAU ORA (NZ First) The Māori Party is once again throwing good taxpayers’ money after bad at the still unproven Whānau Ora programme, says New Zealand First. “Last year’s Budget gifted $50 million to Whānau Ora, and now this year another $40 million is being thrown away,” says Māori Affairs Spokesperson Pita Paraone. “No proof has been provided to show Whānau Ora is achieving significantly more than last year, when the Auditor-General found absolutely no value for money coming from the programme. “Real evidence is needed to justify this spending on Whānau Ora beyond the commissioning agencies being able to increase the ‘Total Page Likes’ on their Facebook pages,” says Mr Paraone….. www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA1605/S00575/budget-2016-40-million-for-unproven-whanau-ora.htm
