Subject: Official Information request - Government funding to HRC to
tackle racism

Hi

In the cabinet paper released in March 2021 (and found here
[7]https://dpmc.govt.nz/sites/default/files...)
, it stated:

"Increase the capacity of the Human Rights Commission:

The HRC is engaging with the community to better understand what
particular
aspects would be most useful and appreciated by the public in order for
them
to strengthen their response to hate speech, racism and discrimination"

Can you please provide the following information:

1. How much funding has HRC received from Government in relation to the
above?

2. When was the funding received?

3. Since the publishing of the royal commission of inquiry report, what
engagements has the HRC undertaken specifically focused on "what would be
most useful and appreciated by the public in order for the HRC to
strengthen their response to hate speech, racism and discrimination"

4. Since the funding has been received, what work by the Commission has
been undertaken to strengthen their response to hate speech, racism, and
discrimination, and how has that response changed from 2020 and earlier
years?

We'd appreciate full transparency and honesty in this matter.

Thank you,

Anthony M.
