Q: What are the allegations regarding Te Pāti Māori and the misuse of private data during the 2023 election?
A: Before we get into this, what about the Uffindell report?
Q: What are the specifics of the allegations involving census data?
A: Well what about the specifics of the Uffindell report?

Stupid waste of text - which is to concur with Pamela Somerville’s more understated comment.
A load of drivel - to be blunt.
Sometimes I am really pleased I paid a sub. And other times I wonder why I paid a sub - this is one of those times.
