"Whether the data collected was actually misused for electoral purposes was outside the scope of the inquiry, but has been referred to other authorities for investigation."
Labour leader Chris Hipkins called the election result in the Tamaki Makaurau seat 'unfair' following the scathing report."
Well there's an act of unprincipled opportunism by the Labour leader, putting the boot in to one of their own potential coalition partners while they're vulnerable.

But I guess Hipkins could afford to kick TPM while they were down, since he and Willy Jackson aim to wipe them out by taking all the Māori seats, and govern with Winston First. Despite none of the reasons they ruled them out in 2020 having changed in any way. If anything WF have gone even more crypto-fascist in the last 3 years.
Did Labour learn nothing from the last decade? They deserve to lose in Nov. My goal for this election is to get WF off the govt benches, whatever it takes.

"The Privacy Act is very clear that agencies collecting personal information need to keep it safe and treat it with care. This responsibility extends to the use of third-party service providers.
Agencies need to be confident that personal information is protected wherever and whatever organisation is handling it."

So of course the NZ Privacy Commissioner will be pushing for third-party service providers to be subject to the OIA for every aspect of public service work they handle, just like the agencies commissioning them, right? Riiiight?
