Willie Jackson is having a cry about Mike Hosking objecting to race-based flood funds after Cyclone Gabrielle.

> In a scathing Facebook post, the Maori Development Minister unleashed on Hosking for what he called an “exceptionally insulting diatribe” about the Government’s [$15 million relief package](https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/recovery-package-launched-accelerate-m%C4%81ori-response-cyclone-gabrielle?ref=goodoil.news) to support Maori communities devastated by the cyclone.   
>  
> Jackson began the post by saying Hosking had “attacked me personally”.  
>  
> \[…\] “His wealth and privilege make him blind to the hurt his comments cause and it allows him to mock the need many Maori have been left in,” Jackson wrote.  
>  
> \[…\] Hosking asked why there were what he described as [“race-based flood funds”](https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/opinion/mikes-minute-why-do-we-have-race-based-flood-funds/?ref=goodoil.news) after Cyclone Gabrielle.   
>  
> “Does the rain fall differently on Maori? Does a flood affect you differently depending on your race?”  
>  
> \[…\] “Yet again the Labour Maori caucus strikes with another of their inexplicable hand-outs based purely on race,” he said on Newstalk ZB.
