Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: Should Moana Pasifika be saved?

There's a strong chance that this has been Moana Pasifika's best and last season in super rugby. Do you want them to have another one? And if so, how much should the taxpayer put in to save it? Would you pay $7million? Because that's apparently what they're short. The Whānau Ora money is gone and it's understood that Sky is pulling its sponsorship of half a million dollars a year. World rugby also wants to either reduce or completely cut the money it puts in. That's around $1.7million a year. So, for a club that costs about 12 m a year to run, it is short around $7million. My answer to the first question I asked you … is yes. Moana Pasifika should be saved. There is a very good reason to have a super ruby team dedicated to giving professional opportunities to Tongan and Samoan rugby players. They were also one of the best success stories of the season. My answer to the second question is that the taxpayer should pay nothing. I can almost guarantee there will be a request for taxpayer help, but this is not a taxpayer problem. This is a rugby problem. This is one for NZ rugby and rugby Australia to fix. They are the ones who own the Super Rugby competition, and the ones who make money off the broadcast deal from it. I hope they can sort it out though because in a rugby competition that failed to excite people during the regular season, Moana Pasifika were one of the better stories.

Concerns are being raised around the use of taxpayer money to fund Moana Pasifika. Our newsroom's revealed the Super Rugby franchise received some $8 million in taxpayer loans, grants, and funding. The Pasifika Medical Association —which took over ownership of the team last year— has received funding from Whānau Ora contracts. Māori Development Minister Tama Potaka told Mike Hosking there's some uncertainty about how that Whānau Ora money was spent. He wants to know it's being used for proper purpose and has asked for an explanation ASAP. LISTEN ABOVE Note: The original story from the NZ Herald has been updated to clarify that Whanau Ora funds flowed to the Moana Pasifika Charitable Trust, and the current owner of the Trust and the team, Pasifika Medical Association, has emphasised that no Whānau Ora funds have been used to fund the Moana Pasifika professional rugby team. The Herald has removed from the story the contention that Whānau Ora funds were directly used for the professional team in the fiscal years 22/23 and 23/24.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Moana Pasifika Super Rugby franchise faces questions over disclosure and transparency at ownership level. It recently came to light that the team received taxpayer money indirectly through Whanau Ora contracts. NZ Herald journalist Kate McNamara says it's unclear how much public money funded the team - but investigations are ongoing. "It may be that all of their funding came from the Whanau Ora contract - but it may be that there's a small amount of funding from another source in there."

Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: The Moana Pasifika revelation could do huge damage

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

How disappointing is the revelation that Whānau Ora money has been used to fund the Moana Pasifika rugby team? How disappointing is that? And this is not a criticism of the team. I mean, the team has been one of the rockstar stories of the Super Rugby season. This is about the funding. This is the kind of revelation, I reckon, that does huge damage to public confidence and Government use of taxpayer money. Because this is money that, to our minds, is supposed to be going to some of the most vulnerable people, to helping Māori and Pasifika families with things like health, medical appointments, baby jabs, education, housing, that kind of thing. But instead, we find out it's been going to fund a rugby team for elite athletes - and this has been going on for at least 2 years. One of the outfits that's contracted to spend final order funds, Pacifica Medical Association Group - we're going to call them PMA - has been giving $770,000 a year to Moana Pasifika. Now, if they do it again this year - we haven't got the financials - but if they do it again at the same level, it will total $2.3 million. That's a lot of money. Now, credit where credit is due, credit to the new Whānau Ora minister or to his department. Either of which appears to have already stopped this in its tracks. They've taken the contract off PMA, given it to a new outfit - and that outfit has to abide by a much tighter set of measurements around the spending and the money and a bit more clarity about whether they're getting their bang bang for their buck when they spend the dollars. But once again, even though it has been stopped - and credit where credit is due - taxpayer money has been wasted. And the lesson here, if there is a lesson, is that it is absolutely fine to hand out taxpayer money to a third party. But if you do that, there have got to be rules and there has got to be supervision. Otherwise, money that we all think is going to families who need it could instead be propping up a rugby team.

Another season of Super Rugby has come to a close. The Crusaders are champions once again, and the Chiefs are also - once again - the runners up. Media discussion focused on the validity of a possible Chiefs win, given their loss against the Blues, but should we be questioning the Crusaders' win given they didn't even finish top of the table? Ardie took out the Player of the Year, but who do our panel think was worthy of the title? Talk will now start turning towards the All Blacks as they begin building a team to face France. Is it too early to start thinking about World Cup places? Who are the surprise picks, and what can we expect from the team based on the Razor's selections?
