From Morning Report, 7:34 am on 21 December 2017

A principal who got a trip to Fiji and $550 to spend on his wellbeing is refusing to answer questions about other expense payments and practices at his school. David Wallis has confirmed Manurewa West School pays for his home phone and broadband, and for travel and meal expenses, but will not go into details or answer questions about allegations made to RNZ News. The school was named in this week's annual report on school audits because of overseas travel and payments to Mr Wallis.
