I'm unsure of the point you are trying to make here. Surely you are comparing apples with oranges as the government at last check (I'm admittedly working of some old numbers) paid $82M to sports. Personally I'd rather not see any child go hungry but cherry picking data is not really policy. “562,000 – Dollars – The amount National put into sports funding for private schools when only $317,000 went into supporting organisations providing food to hungry children in low decile schools.”

They actually go a bit crazy. I heard john Key already have Fay Richwhite and Macquarie Bank lined up as cornerstone investors for New Zealand's Energy Companies. Im am not sure what is going to be worse our power companies owned by the Chinese Government or American Corporates. It appears a majority of Auckland's housing stock is Chinese owned, it reflects a positive endorsement in NZ as a country to live and invest, it is a shame this Government has no regard for it's own citizens apart from the wealthy.
