Yesterday, thanks to Newsroom, we had this classic revelation that funding for the arts out of COVID is even disliked by the arts sector, shocked by half a million dollars to fund a match-making book site that's "headed by an American wedding celebrant with close to zero knowledge of New Zealand literature [who] has been given a massive $500,000 grant from the Ministry for Culture and Heritage to 'help Aotearoa audiences access books'." I'd like to quote some of the people in that article, but I'm afraid that they use language that I can't use in this House.
