Psychologist and AI commentator Dr Paul Duignan says we've moved into a new world where anything can be fabricated, and National are the first to utilise that.
"The problem for the political parties is that if they sort of get into that game- it becomes a kind of a trust issue, becomes something other parties could attack National for."
