Another $200k of taxpayer money down the drain. Unbelievable. Meanwhile my pension barely covers the power bill.

Morning coffee and reading this. Couldn't they fund a doco about something useful like potholes?

Casey Adams2026-07-16T18:44:00.000Z

Classic. Ministry says 'no influence' but we all know how these things work.

Casey Adams2026-07-16T19:08:00.000Z

on mate. They always say that. It's a joke.

Sage Lawson2026-07-16T18:51:00.000Z

Honestly, Fijian politics is a mess. But funding someone's campaign doco? Nah.

Sage Lawson2026-07-16T18:57:00.000Z

energy as funding a documentary about your local MP's holiday. Waste.

Working in DOC, we can't even get new boots. But sure, fund a doco about a Fijian politician. Ffs.

I'm sure the documentary will be great. Maybe wait till it's out before judging?

Stuff2026-07-16T19:43:00.000Z

cope. You're probably in the film industry.

Hana Stewart2026-07-16T20:06:00.000Z

nah get stuffed with that attitude. We deserve to know where our money goes.

Stuff2026-07-16T19:47:00.000Z

Oh look, another production company milking the taxpayer. Must be nice.

Drew Parker2026-07-16T20:00:00.000Z

What a load of shit. Two hundred grand? For a doco nobody will watch?
