Te Pāti Māori case has "more tentacles than an octopus" - employment advocate

An employee advocate says whistleblowers have been vilified for raising allegations against Te Pāti Māori. 

It's alleged information collected at Auckland's Manurewa Marae was used to help the party's election campaign, something Te Pāti denies. 

Stats NZ has appointed an investigator, Police have received a complaint, and the Privacy Commissioner's considering what to do next. 

Allan Hulse represents marae and MSD workers who he says have been wrongly blamed for the misconduct.  

He told Mike Hosking that there's evidence showing MSD essentially funded the election campaign of the Tamaki Makaurau candidate.
