Te Kainga, being a voluntary childcare centre issued from and controlled by the community, is exactly the type of group that this government's manifesto wishes to encourage. However, Mr King has obviously different views on the matter. After three quarters of an hour of woolly talk on his part and politely repressed rage on ours it comes out that:

1.	there is no "proper channel" to give financial help to our group.
2.	Anyway, giving financial help would not be a "constructive" gesture, and it might also hurt the feelings of commercial profit-making creches.
