The allegations against Te Pāti Māori need to be handled with sensitivity.
It's been alleged information collected at Auckland's Manurewa Marae was used to help the party's election campaign, something Te Pāti Māori denies.
Stats NZ has appointed an investigator, Police have received a complaint, and the Privacy Commissioner's considering what to do next.
Political commentator Peter Dunne told Mike Hosking that it will turn into Te Pāti Māori tikanga versus the tikanga of the rest of the country.
He says it needs to be dealt with in a way that can't be spun as colonisers attacking the party.
