Awesome & Nice work Robett for bringing public attention to this .

These old boys clubs, that give out money without any "strings attached" and no milestones or targets are a problem. How is success measured?

Seems more like a Creative NZ, congratulations on the golden handshake "wink, wink" award.

Looks like these guys will be eating plenty of free lunches on the NZ tax payers dime.

I damn hope this is looked at further and they have not made a clean getaway with the full $$.

I could think of 1000's of ways 5 million could help the NZ eco system, rather than keeping the crew in question with round bellies.
