Here’s hoping the Team New Zealand mob have kept enough of the taxpayers’ money in a kitty for a small farewell party.
That thought struck the member for Eketahuna North while he mused on the team’s latest bleat about its money problems.
Without an immediate cash injection – according to Grant Dalton – the syndicate will be “gone by the end of the month”.
So…
A fortnight hence Team NZ could be sunk.
Or so it seems, because the Herald reported:
With their bridging finance fast running out Grant Dalton yesterday reiterated the team’s dire financial position, warning without an immediate cash injection from the Government the syndicate would be “gone by the end of the month”.
“If we go, there ain’t no coming back. The start-up price of a team from scratch is so astronomical that it will never happen in this country.”
Alf happens to be sublimely indifferent to the fate of the boaties. If they can make it by themselves, good on them. If they can’t, too bad.
