Ali Anwar made this Official Information request to Ministry of Education
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Ali Anwar to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Ali Anwar
Dear Ministry of Education,
According to recent reporting, funding has been provided to the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand, a group notorious for calling all criticism of the genocide of the Palestinian people 'anti-semitism'. "initial funding has been provided by New Zealand’s government to support an education package put together by the Holocaust Centre to be sent out to teachers and schools across New Zealand to combat antisemitism"

a) Has the Ministry of Education provided funding to the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand since the zionists increased the rate of their genocide against the Palestinian people on 7 October 2023?
b) If so, please provide all communications and documents relating to this 'education package', in their original form (not as a summary).
