There have been a string of apologies from Green Party co-leader James Shaw.
He's fronted media to say he made an error in judgement, in supporting 11.7 million dollars' funding for a private Taranaki school's shovel-ready project.
Shaw has apologised to parents, teachers, schools and unions - and to Green Party members who have felt demoralised by his decision.
He says he thinks the Green School should receive a loan - not a grant - so the money is repaid in full.
Meanwhile, Facebook has played its trump card in threatening to pull the plug on news in Australia.
The Australian Government wants to introduce a law, which aims to have Facebook and Google financially compensate news publishers for the content and value they provide.
