The allegations prompted separate inquiries by Stats NZ and the Public Service Commission, whose findings remain undisclosed.
On June 7, 2024, Te Pāti Māori leaders formally requested an investigation, asserting their innocence and criticizing media coverage for turning the issue into a racial debate.
Police Assistant Commissioner Paul Basham assigned McKay to the case, assuring updates would follow.
However, by October, party leaders had yet to be interviewed, prompting them to demand an update. Police responded that interviews were forthcoming, yet four months later, no contact had been made.
When pressed last week, police confirmed the investigation remains ongoing but declined to provide further details.

Is this really true? After 8 months, is this still under investigation? This appears to be a serious allegation that is being covered up. Is something bad going on here or not? If we want people to take part in gathering statistics in future, we need some clarity.
