Looked for, not found

  • No verbatim-verified evidence of Rohan O'Neill-Stevens's full education history (Nelson College, UWC Robert Bosch College) — Wikipedia and secondary sources mention it but fetched pages did not yield extractable claims.
  • No verified evidence of Rohan O'Neill-Stevens's role as President of the NZ Local Government Youth network — mentioned in IoD article snippet but page did not yield extractable claims.
  • No verified evidence of Rohan O'Neill-Stevens's Arts Council Nelson Transition Director role from fetched pages — mentioned in search snippets and Instagram but page content not extractable.

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.
