King's mental health foundation I am Hope will get a six-million-a-year budget-boost from the Government.
Labour mental health spokesperson, Ingrid Leary, queried that - pointing out now-chair of the Foundation, Naomi Ballantyne, donated 7-thousand to National 2023, and 20-thousand in 2020.
King says labour is using an initiative aimed at supporting young people's mental health for political point-scoring.
He says it's ironic that the same party that once supported his cause is now using it as a political football.
