The Government does not appear to be concerned about the reopening of an inquiry into one of its MPs.
The inquiry, involving list MP Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi over immigration allegations, is back on after police were provided with fresh information.
Mr Bakshi has denied allegations he accepted money for false job offers to bolster Indian immigrant applications.
There have also been allegations swirling around about attempts to silence witnesses.
"As far as I understand, he's quite clear he hasn't done anything he shouldn't have done," Acting Prime Minister Bill English told reporters today.
"There have been allegations around for a while, it's my understanding that the Department of Immigration has been looking into those and they should follow the proper processes."
Immigration New Zealand started an inquiry last year but closed it in March because of a lack of evidence.
It has now provided police with further information on the allegations after interviewing a new informant, The New Zealand Herald reported.
The service also provided police with a sworn statement, obtained by Labour MP Pete Hodgson from another new informant, which said complainants were encouraged by people in India to drop the matter; "because he was going to be the first Sikh MP in New Zealand".
Police said they were looking at the role of former immigration consultant Darshan Singh Bains, who took job offers from Mr Bakshi and gave them to Indians to use as part of their applications to migrate to New Zealand.
"Police are currently assessing that Immigration NZ information to determine criminal liability," police said.
Mr Bakshi said he knew nothing about the police investigation, and had not had any contact with Immigration since its file was closed.
Mr Bakshi has been away from work after a heart bypass operation but is expected back soon.
In Parliament today Mr Hodgson read an affidavit sworn by Darshan Singh Saran, a resident of the Punjab and a friend of Kuldip Singh, the man who says he paid for a job offer for his wife.
The affidavit said the money was paid to Darshan Singh Bains, and Kuldip Singh's attempts to recover it failed because the immigration consultant had disappeared.
It recorded how "influential people" urged Kuldip Singh not to speak out against the MP.
