Te Whanau o Waipareira Trust's court case
against the Ministry of Social Development (MSD)
has begun at the Auckland High Court.
The case follows funding cuts to a number of Maori providers
involved with the Family Start contracts.
Waipareira are still fighting
to get funding for its Family Start contracts.
Although Waipareira had its Family Start contract terminated,
it's been put on the shortlist for the same contract.
The case follows funding cuts to a number of Maori providers
involved with Family Start contracts.
In July, a meeting was held to band all of the providers together.
Waipareira and MSD went into mediation before the case,
to no avail.
They're in court until Friday.
