Eagle PaulPAUL EAGLE (Labour—Rongotai): Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker and congratulations on your role. The last time I was speaking there was a swimming pool over here so I've moved this way to avoid that and to make sure I get it right this time. It's my pleasure to support Minister Martin and of course Minister Curran in their work here. I also want to just acknowledge the Hon Ruth Dyson as the committee chair who helped lead this piece of work through. I don't want to repeat much but I do want to just acknowledge the Hon Chris Finlayson. He talked about succinctness and he ran a succinct campaign. I think he had nine hoardings and went to nine meetings but he did come up with the quote of the campaign which was that if he did win he would call for a recount. I was going to pay the fee for him to do that but of course the rest is history.I think this is the Making Life Easier for Kiwis Bill" because when I read through it it talks about a whole range of things that others have talked about that make life easier for most Kiwis—not all but most. I thought I'd just concentrate on a few things that have been said and a few bits and pieces that I've picked out. I picked out what the MP for Pakuranga has reminded us of: this Better Public Services agenda that was led by the previous Government. They wanted—I think you said 70 percent of transactions online by the end of this year. Somewhere in the notes it talks about that they got to 52 percent. But really the only big things that happened there were that the ministries got bigger the cost of restructuring these departments got bigger—everything got bigger except for what the purpose of Better Public Services was for. So I don't want to call it a failure outright but close to—close to.Hon Nathan Guy: I wouldn't do that yet. You've only been here for five minutes.PAUL EAGLE: That's right. I wouldn't call it a failure just yet. The other thing though that the notes pick up on is online security and secure data. That was a hive of information because we've talked lots about the local government elections where we could have had those being online. They weren't and I'm glad. I want them to go online but I'm glad that local government wasn't used as the guinea pig because several in the IT sector were saying to me "Look we cannot have these online because the Government cannot prove to us that all will go well."Look I've got a list here and the list is huge. In terms of protecting public information we had leaks galore. We had health—in fact we had health senior officials in 2015 having to swear that they did not leak the information. We had 6000 names and addresses of individuals leaked or however else you want to describe it and the information go yonder in 2012. I'm not even going to talk about Novopay nor the IRD issue with Rt Hon Winston Peters but the issue of securing online information and data I think needs to be addressed.We've also talked lots about the digital divide. I know we've had the information there on those who don't have the internet. I think what the Department of Internal Affairs talked about is that 93 percent of people do actually have access. I know that just up the road there in Newtown in my electorate you have something there called SmartNewtown. That's a local government - funded resource where people can go in who don't have much they can log in for nothing you've got 20 computers set up and they can communicate with their homeland in the language that they choose to in the time that they have for no money. How simple such a service is. But look let's try and do our best to get the information that we need to get out to people like that more easily. I'm really happy and it's my pleasure to commend this bill to the House. Thank you."
