Taxpayer Union “outrageously stupid”

MANA Leader and Tai Tokerau MP

Taxpayer Union “outrageously stupid”

Jordan Williams, Executive Director of the Taxpayers’ Union says a MANA billboard “appears to have been funded by taxpayers”, and calls it “an outrageous use of taxpayer money”.

“But the only thing that is outrageous, is how outrageously stupid Jordan Williams was to make the accusation without checking the facts” said MANA leader and Tai Tokerau MP, Hone Harawira. “The billboards were all legitimately paid for from campaign funds”.

“Seems to me if the Taxpayers’ Union is shooting off its mouth without checking the facts, poor taxpayers who are being conned to pay for their expenses might want to think about putting their money somewhere else” said Harawira “like Internet MANA”.
