Answer

I have not undertaken such assessment in my capacity as the Prime Minister. Political parties must send an annual return relating to the donations they receive to the Electoral Commission. This information is publicly available: Party donations and loans by year | Elections NZ. Information relating to donations to individuals is also published by the Electoral Commission.
