Photo: FileNational Party leader Judith Collins says Green Party co-leader James Shaw should resign over his mistake approving a $11.7 million grant for Taranaki Green School. Shaw has apologised for his mistake in approving the grant to the private school, despite the Green Party having a policy against public funding for private schools. Taranaki Green School chief executive Chris Edwards said the money was never meant to be a grant. Collins said other Taranaki schools badly needed more funding and she supported more funding for public schools and integrated schools.
