Katherine Raue made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand
The request was partially successful.
From: Katherine Raue
Dear Health New Zealand,
I request all information regarding the "traditional maori korowai" adorning the plinth
in pride of place in the atrium of Wellington hospital, including all communication, and all information regarding consultation, sourcing, and installation of this hideous monstrosity, and the large plaque placed prominently in front of the piece of pounamu on top of the plinth.
Who created it?
What consultation was undertaken? - please provide all information regarding the consultation, and all communication, undertaken in regard to the installation of this piece of synthetic fake fur that is referred to by Wellington Hospital as a "traditional maori korowai".
How much money was spent on the sourcing and installation of this cheap nasty piece of synthetic rubbish?
This request was made to specific staff at Wellington hospital months ago. Since then images of the "traditional korowai" and social media posts featuring images of it have been removed from the internet. I specifically request copies of these images and any other images of the "traditional maori korowai", and information regarding what type of feathers adorn the top of it.
Other evidence of the standard of tikanga at what used to be CCDHB, including photographs of the 'traditional maori cloak' can be found at this link: Dear Health New Zealand,
