Looked for, not found

  • No detailed public record found of Fisher Wang's specific University of Waikato degree programme or graduation year beyond a LinkedIn snippet indicating he studied there.
  • No detailed public record found of Fisher Wang's pre-politics employment history beyond working at McDonald's as a teenager before his 2019 council election win.

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.
