Looked for, not found
- Unable to confirm full details of Angela Roberts' family connection (granddaughter of whom) — RNZ snippet mentions "granddaughter of former Wellington..." but the full quote could not be extracted from the fetched page.
- Angela Roberts' university/tertiary education qualifications not confirmed from public sources fetched.
- Specific details of Angela Roberts' work in law firms and unions in the United Kingdom (referenced in RNZ snippet) could not be further corroborated from fetched pages.
The agent checked these topics across the allowed public sources but
could not find verbatim-quotable evidence. Absence doesn't rule the
fact out — it just means no journalist-accessible source
covered it at run time.
