National's Simeon Brown is fuming over a Human Rights Commission donation to the Mongrel Mob.Newstalk ZB has revealed the commission gave the Waikato chapter $200 as koha, after Chief Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt spoke at the Mob's hui in May.Brown says its unacceptable any amount of taxpayer money is being donated to a gang."It's absolutely outrageous the Human Rights Commission is giving money to a criminal organisation. The Mongrel Mob were recently caught in a major transnational drug bust and gang bust. There's no way that any government department should be donating money to that cause"Brown says this is a kick in the guts to victims of crime, people who have been hurt by the Mongrel Mob, and it sends all of the wrong messages.LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
