Not so long ago, New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern supplied funding to a drug rehabilitation programme run by people affiliated with a criminal gang known as the Mongrel Mob. The sum involved was $2.75 million.
Now she's funding humanitarian work in Afghanistan. The Taliban have thanked New Zealand for the support. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/449619/new-zealand-gives-3m-in-humanitarian-assistance-for-dire-afghanistan-situation
This latest throwing good money after bad comes just as New Zealand is in the strictest Covid-19 lockdown in the world, despite no-one being in hospital or even dead from the Delta said to be rampaging across the country.
Now people are not so happy with her. This may be going too far, especially as small businesses have less support this time round, they're facing extinction.
