Dave Letele Criticizes Westpac Over BBM Foodbank Visit

Social activist Dave Letele has criticized Westpac for what he deems “poverty porn,” claiming the bank used his foodbank for positive publicity but ignored his request for a $10,000 donation afterward. Letele highlighted that while around 20 bank employees volunteered at the BBM Community Kitchen in 2021, he expected a financial contribution that never came. He expressed surprise when Westpac later sought to return for another year of service, stating that the experience would cost them $10,000.
