A pledge of $2.1 million has been made to survivors of the Christchurch terror attack by international associates of a Chinese businessman who found himself in the centre of the Jami Lee Ross political storm in 2018.
On Friday evening Auckland mayor Phil Goff was invited to attend a dinner for Teochew delegates who had arrived in Auckland for the 20th Convention of Teochew International Federation held this weekend.
Goff arrived late due to a meeting with the New Zealand Police and the Muslim community over the attacks in Christchurch which had happened just hours earlier.
The attacks left 50 people dead with another 34 still in hospital, 12 of them in critical condition.
When Goff explained to his hosts why he was late, the delegates together pledged nearly $500,000 for the victims. That sum has since grown to $2.1m.
