A group of former workers at Manurewa Marae said private data from census forms was photocopied and entered into a database they believe was then used to target voters in the Tāmaki Makaurau electorate.
How did anyone think this was even remotely acceptable?
I dunno. On the face of it, yes, it seems weird. But the commission is independent. It seems to me the same as if a company had an issue raised and got a consultant in to investigate.
