少数民族部长滥用官方网站   
工党少数民族事务发言人 拉金·普拉萨德 (Rajen Prasad)、工党全国不分区国会议员霍建强 (Raymond Huo)
  

少数民族部长朱迪·柯林斯应当停止利用她自己部门的网站宣传国家党并为其所在政党募款。
少数民族办公室的网站通过链接把访客引到朱迪·柯林斯的国家党网站――而这个网站里含有让人给国家党捐款及入党的内容。
这么做完全不妥。朱迪柯林斯应将她的党派活动与部长职责区分开来。
自就任少数民族事务部长以来，她并不怎么积极参与少数族裔活动，多数情况下只是让她的国会秘书梅丽莎李(Melissa Lee)代表她出席。
这就太不应当了，因为我国的少数族裔都非常希望能和部长有直接接触。比起在少数民族事务官方网站上为政党募款，和少数民族社区直接对话交流才是部长应当关注的吧。
工党议员拉金·普拉萨德与霍建强都要求这位部长立即从少数民族事务部官方网站中移除她的政党链接。
拉金·普拉萨德议员指出，朱迪柯林斯部长以想当然的态度对待我国的少数族群，因为人们在她负责的其他部门的官方网站上就看不到相似的政党网站链接。
霍建强议员表示：约翰基说他给他的部长们定的都是高标准。那么他也应当以高标准来处理朱迪·柯林斯这起事件。（来源：霍建强议员办公室）
注：至发稿时，朱迪·柯林斯的政党网站链接已从少数民族事务部网站被移除。

Judith Collins misusing departmental website

Ethnic Affairs Minister Judith Collins should stop using her own department’s website to promote the National Party and to solicit donations, says Labour’s ethnic MPs Rajen Prasad and Raymond Huo.
“The Office of Ethnic Affairs website directs visitors to link through to Judith Collins’ National Party website which contains a section where people can donate money and sign up to the Party,” said Rajen Prasad.
“That is completely inappropriate. Judith Collins should keep her Party activities separate from her Ministerial responsibilities.”
“The Minister has not maintained a particularly high profile at ethnic events and functions since taking on the job. She mostly leaves her Parliamentary Private Secretary Melissa Lee to deputise for her,” said Raymond Huo.

“That’s a real shame because ethnic communities are very keen to have a direct relationship with the Minister. Perhaps that’s what Judith Collins should concentrate on rather than chasing up political donations through the Ethnic Affairs website.”

The Labour MPs are asking the Minister to remove the link to the National Party from the Ethnic Affairs website immediately.

“The Minister is taking the ethnic community for granted as similar links do not appear in the websites of her other departments or Ministries as far we can tell,” said Rajen Prasad. 

“John Key says he has set a high standard for his Ministers. He should enforce them when it comes to Judith Collins,” said Raymond Huo.
