Not the way we aim to operate : Woods promises to tidy up unlawful Ihumātao purchase

Not the way we aim to operate : Woods promises to tidy up unlawful Ihumātao purchase Newshub 3 hrs ago Replay Video UP NEXT Housing Minister Megan Woods is promising to tidy up the Government s unlawful spending of $30 million of taxpayer money on Ihumātao.  The Auditor-General has investigated the land purchase and found the Government didn t jump through the correct funding hoops. It s now being forced to fix the botch-up. ACT and National both wrote to the Auditor-General asking it to investigate the Government s spending of public money to purchase the south Auckland land.  It turns out the Government dipped into a pocket of the public purse it wasn t allowed to touch - it didn t have Parliament s sign-off.

Auditor-General rules the $29 9m the Government used to buy Ihumātao was unlawfully spent - Minister blames technical error

The deal, made explicitly outside the Treaty of Waitangi process, ended one chapter in a long-running dispute over the land near Auckland Airport, which was once a site of market gardens for local iwi but was confiscated by the New Zealand Government in 1863. ACT leader David Seymour and National housing spokeswoman Nicola Willis both wrote to the Auditor-General asking for him to look into the case, arguing that the funds for Land For Housing Programme was being misused for a different purpose. Abigail Dougherty/Stuff Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has rejected the assertion of any wrongdoing by her Government. The Auditor-General did not quite agree with this statement, but did find that the new appropriation the Ministry for Housing and Urban Development had made had not gone through the proper Parlaimentary process. This new appropriation was made after Treasury said using the existing Land For Housing appropriation would not be proper.

National and ACT are hammering in criticism over the Government s Ihumātao deal which has been deemed unlawful by the Auditor-General.  The disputed south Auckland land was purchased by the Government from Fletcher Building in December for $30 million. The Government said it was bought using the Land for Housing programme, which falls under the KiwiBuild umbrella.  Newshub revealed in March that Treasury warned the Government not to use the Land for Housing programme to purchase the land at Ihumātao because of the risk it did not fit within the scope of KiwiBuild.
