Subject: Official Information request - Funding and Potential Conflict of
Interest

 

Dear Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Board,

 

I am writing to request information regarding any potential conflicts of
interest arising from the funding provided by the New Zealand government
to Te Papa.

 

As an autonomous Crown entity, Te Papa is funded by the New Zealand
government. Funding could possibly be cut for spreading unwanted
information, or not spreading a certain narrative. I would like to inquire
about these potential conflict of interests that may arise from this
funding.

 

Please confirm whether Te Papa has been compelled to spread or withhold
certain narratives or information within the last decade through
government funding. If so, are you able to please provide all instances
and related correspondences regarding funding and this information being
spread or withheld?

 

Yours faithfully,

Danson Stevens
