The Government is facing further backlash from the Opposition over its decision to sign off millions of dollars to a Mongrel Mob rehab programme while Mike King's Gumboot Friday is desperate for help.

Nearly $3 million in funding seized from gangs and criminals by police is being used to fund the Mongrel Mob's Kahukura drug and trauma rehabilitation scheme, Hawke's Bay Today newspaper revealed on Monday. The initiative is a live-in marae-based programme that aims to address trauma and drug-seeking behaviour.
