    The Prime Minister does NOT agree with Te Pati Maori's claims a probe into alleged data misuse was politically and racially motivated


    Issues have been found with how Stats NZ, Health New Zealand, and the Ministry of Health controlled the sharing of Covid vaccination and the Census data.

    There were allegations Manurewa Marae used some information to target voters.

    Chris Luxon "disagrees completely" with concerns race was was a factor in the claims.

    He says the claims are before Police now.
