Is it hacking or not? The budget scandal

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 29 May 2019

The National Party has slammed the Government's allegation that it obtained information from computer hacking. 

It comes after Treasury announced it had been 'deliberately and systematically' hacked following the release of details about tomorrow's budget. 

Simon Bridges won't say how National got the information but says there has been no hacking. So what's going on? NZ Herald data journalist Keith Ng discusses the issue.
