Is This Charity Or What?
New Zealand First leader Rt Hon Winston Peters has offered a bouquet to the staff of Telecom for choosing Lifeline as the recipient of a $30,000 donation from Telecom, and a brickbat to Telecom for spending $23,000 on a full-page advertisement in the New Zealand Herald to tell the world about it.
“Telecom’s gift is admirable and
undoubtedly Lifeline is a most worthy cause, but telling
everyone you are giving it in a full-page ad is
self-promotion at its worst. “I suggest instead of
shameless self promotion Telecom could have additionally
gifted the advertising amount of $23,000 to Lifeline as well
as the original amount of $30,000 almost doubling the value
of the gift,” said Mr
Peters.
