The Mana and Māori Parties are scrapping over how much is being spent on Māori trade training.
Mana’s Ikaroa candidate, Te Hamua Nikora, claims there is only $3 million in the budget for trades training schemes and cadet-ships for Māori, and it’s not new money.
But Māori Party co-leader, Tariana Turia, says Mr Nikora can’t read a budget, and there is $43 million committed to expand Māori and Pasifika trades training to 3000 places.
Another $4 million is going in to cadetships.
She says Mr Nikora is deliberately misleading people and playing on their emotions.
