A charity assistant, accused of threatening assistance from immigrants who are abused if they talk to the media, says that the incident is a "misunderstanding" caused by a staff. The CNSST Foundation, also known as Hua She Fu by Chinese community, offers a series services to new Asian immigrants and received more than $ 3 million from the Ministry of Social Development in last financial year , also business, innovation andThe Ministry Employment and Migration from New Zealand. The organization helps workers who paid tens of thousands of dollars for their visas, but found that they were rejected within days or weeks they came to New Zealand. However, in May, CNSST staff sent a message to WeChat group of more than 100 workers, that if charity talks with media, it would not help them, and reason for this could do Chinese Chinese. The message warned that scope of media would compromise on privacy of workers, and then unscrupulous employers would escape or disappear, "If you choose media, we won't help you". CNSST General Manager Jenny Wang initially told Rnz that they could not comment on the message of the personnel because of confidentiality concerns, but since then, he said that everything was wrong communication. "This issue does not include advice on how to discuss the media of a CNSST personnel who are not an authorized spokesman. Wang confirmed that staff works full -time for the charity and website listed them as a senior executive and licensed immigrant advisor. Wang claimed that CNSST did not tell any customer not to talk to the media. "CNSST has never said any customer or person we recommend not talk to the media - rather, we said that if the exploited workers want do this, they should understand that media relations should not be a set of skills or services provided." Rnz asked CNSST to offer evidence of this communication, but he hadn't yet received it. "No government likes anywhere, and the New Zealand government is not an exception," he said. Wang said that aid given to the Chinese group of 155 Chinese workers did not use direct funds from New Zealand government. He said that the work to help them was volunteer. When asked how the aid institution finances the personnel hours spent to help 155 workers, Wang said that he could use his own income from social business services, including Chinese language schools, migration and translation services, vocational training, accounting education and international working tours. MBIE Participation and Experience Manager Suzanne Bislem said that they do not ignore the message CNSST sent to the workers. "MBIE, CNSST's organizational policies and exploitation immigrant victims do not comment on work of supporting the victims of exploitation, but we do not condemn exploited immigrant workers."Said. "MBIE encourages people speak publicly about exploitation of immigrant exploitation and come the forefront inform public or safe." Bislem said MBIE would take CNSST's actions into the future financing and
