Perhaps better to wait until police finish investigating.

Police have confirmed they are investigating five reports of concern about behaviour targeted towards Te Pāti Māori candidate Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke - but do not believe the incidents are racially motivated or coordinated.
In a statement, Detective Inspector Darrell Harpur said a person had been formally trespassed from Maipi-Clarke's Huntly home on Thursday. It was not classified as a home-invasion-style entry into the house.
He said an election hoarding was stolen from the property on 25 September, but added a range of hoardings in the area from a range of political parties were also stolen or defaced.
This incident was incorrectly reported as a ram raid, when it was a theft, he said.


Te Pāti Māori president John Tamihere said the party did not accept the latest police statement regarding its candidate and would be filing a civil law suit after the election.
He said it was a whitewash but it was not surprising from the police."

So confirming TPM'S story was bullshit.  Thanks again Lilith

BS? the national supporter entering the home of a rival party member without authorisation bit seems to be well documented...
