The Disinformation Project's narrative has been thoroughly debunked. They have contributed to the division in New Zealand, and it's time for them to be held accountable.
The Disinformation Project (and other notorious “disinformation experts”) were all in on the Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke home invasion story; it made the DP’s research look predictive and so retrospectively justified it.
