Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon has resigned after it came to light he'd failed to declare conflicts of interests.
It came to light that Foon didn't declare that a company he directed received more than $2 million for the provision of emergency housing.
In April it was revealed he and his family made donations to Labour MP Kiri Allan and a National candidate.
NZ Herald political reporter Adam Pearse says it's hard to judge whether a role like Race Relations Commissioner can tick the boxes.
