RNZI reports more than 40 delegates, representing 17 national sporting federations, discussed the matter at a Special General Meeting earlier this week.
The Secretary General of TASANOC, Takitoa Taumoepeau, said they have analysed the figures and the government's argument that they pulled their support for financial reasons made no sense.
"He (the Prime Minister) is saying that the reason is financial yet he's continuing with his golf project - the new golf project - which costs even more than what we have been looking at the contribution from government," he said.
