Sam Uffindell: National receives report on Tauranga MP, will make statement

The National Party says it has received Maria Dew QC's report into Tauranga MP Sam Uffindell and will make a statement later today.

Leader Christopher Luxon asked Dew to conduct a review after allegations of aggressive and bullying behaviour were made against Uffindell dating from his time at high school and university.

It was initially expected to take two weeks but Luxon later announced an extension to the timeline.

Uffindell was stood down from the party's caucus on 10 August 2022.

Prior to that, it was revealed that Uffindell was kicked out of his boarding school as a 16-year-old for beating a younger student.
