Absolute bloody rort. Another handout to a mate while real survivors can't get shit. Disgrace.

standard. Mate's mate gets the cash.

three times bankrupt and still getting taxpayer money? that's not a mistake, that's a system designed to fail.

Riley Scott2026-07-19T23:08:00.000Z

it's designed for mates, not for us.

Jack Morrison2026-07-19T22:53:00.000Z

ffs. $57k to a guy who can't keep a business? meanwhile my mate's grandad is still waiting on his abuse payout. classic.

Wonder how many 'consultants' got a slice too. This fund smells like a slush fund from day one.

Hot take: maybe he actually did the work? But yeah, optics are terrible lmao.

RNZ2026-07-20T01:08:00.000Z

it's a rort. He's a serial bankrupt. End of.

What a load of shit. My rates went up for this crap.

The real story here is how hard it is for abuse survivors to even get heard. This distracts from that.
