Sauni Seleni has worked for the governments of New Zealand and Australia. But when he tried to join the police, he was shocked by the false information they held on him. National Correspondent Tony Wall reports. Tears stream down Sauni Seleni’s face as he describes the impact on him and his family of being branded a “criminal”. An unknown person fraudulently used Seleni’s name during a traffic stop in 2007 – 14 years later, he’s still suffering the consequences. The 40-year-old is a law-abiding citizen with no criminal convictions. He worked as an immigration detention officer in Australia and as a Customs officer in Auckland from 2016 to 2020. He is now into the second year of a law degree at Auckland University of Technology.
