Simeon Brown: Mongrel Mob donations are unacceptable and outrageous

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.
