Looked for, not found
- No public Labour Party profile page found for Dan Scott (Tukituki candidate) on labour.org.nz. LinkedIn profile blocked (403).
- No pecuniary interests register, directorships, ministerial meetings, or Hansard speeches found for Dan Scott (person_id=601975) — he is a 2026 election candidate, not yet an MP.
- New Zealand Young Labour Wikipedia page did not yield extractable verbatim claims about Dan Scott beyond what was in the search snippet.
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.
