The other aspect of the Auror story that isn't getting much attention is the degree to which the functions of public policing, subject to democratic oversight, is being gradually replaced by private security companies. Often multinational corporations with multi-million dollar valuations. Operating under minimal if any regulation, with almost no enforcement.
How much public money is given to private security contractors even by government departments, like WINZ, instead of using Police?
The real headline here is about how the casual use of Auror for Police surveillance ...
"... raised concerns about privacy for everyday Kiwis."
Instead, the headline editors chose for this episode of The Detail is;
"A retail crime-fighting app helping police track repeat offenders"

What's up with that?
"Police have been given the legal clearance to continue tapping into private cameras more than 200,000 times a year for evidence."
#PhilPennington, 2024
The surveillance-industrial complex, hard at work. If David Seymour cared about democracy he'd be fighting this, not fighting the Crown's grudging recognition of its obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Similar sophistry going on here in New Zealand too.
