Conflict of interest statement for Fact Aotearoa

Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs

Currently waiting for a response from Department of Internal Affairs, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Erika Whittome

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,
Fact Aotearoa recently gave evidence at the royal Covid inquiry. This inquiry is funded by your ministry. I see Fact Aotearoa is not funded by the DPMC which is what they say on fact Aotearoa’s website, but possibly the DIA as this response shows https://fyi.org.nz/request/31534-fact-ao...

Would you kindly share the conflict of interest statement for funding Fact Aotearoa and for funding the Royal Covid Inquiry Phase2?

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
