Kohanga finance story to be told on Maori Television

The High Court has cleared Maori Television to run a story about financial management problems at the Kohanga Reo National Trust.
The trust has not sought the extension of an injunction that stopped the story running last month, and High Court Justice Stephen Kos has granted permission to use information contained in affadavits.
He says the information of concern was already a matter of public record as it related to the criminal record of a member of a trust subsidiary company, Te Pataka Ohanga.
Native Affairs producer Annabelle Lee-Harris said the outcome was a victory for Maori journalists and Maori organisations who receive public money should expect scrutiny from the Maori media.
The story will air on Monday.
