Dr SHANE RETI (National—Whangarei) to the Minister for Māori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti: Does he stand by all his statements and actions around the Tuia 250 data breach?Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development) on behalf of the Minister for Māori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti: Yes in the context they were made and taken.Dr Shane Reti: Why were data-breached gun licences left off Tuia 250 media briefings and never made public until it was brought into the public domain yesterday? Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: There are a number of forms of ID that required replacement after the breach had occurred. The majority of IDs were drivers' licences and passports. As the member has stated there were three firearms licences. There were also one medical certificate and six New Zealand resident visas. But the reference was made to the certificate or the documentation that was most prominent and that was drivers' licences and as I said passports.Dr Shane Reti: Were data-breached gun licences withheld from the public because of concerns for gun register legislation following a few weeks later?Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: No.Dr Shane Reti: On the Tuesday after the data breach did ministry officials write to a private secretary in Jacinda Ardern's office seeking urgent attention around why gun licences were not revealed to the media?Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: I am not aware of any correspondence of that nature.Dr Shane Reti: I seek leave to table an email from ministry officials to a private secretary in Jacinda Ardern's office that came to me under an Official Information Act request in my name.SPEAKER: Has that been publicly made available as well as to the member?Dr Shane Reti: Not to my knowledge. It came directly to me.SPEAKER: Is there any objection to that being tabled? There appears to be none. It may be tabled.Document by leave laid on the Table of the House.Dr Shane Reti: Did officials including a private secretary in Jacinda Ardern's office ever convey to her that gun licences had been data-breached and withheld from media briefings?Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: Not that I am aware of. Dr Shane Reti: What other Tuia 250 data breach information has never been made public? Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: I think that the information regarding certificates or information that was caught up in the breach has been made public via written questions I believe and as I said earlier the vast majority were passport information and drivers' licences but there were also six school IDs five New Zealand resident visas three firearms licences and one medical certificate. Dr Shane Reti: I seek leave to table documentation through to me on an Official Information Act request showing medical information was also data-breached and a Parliamentary Library report showing that's never come into public domain. SPEAKER: And—sorry? And?Dr Shane Reti: A Parliamentary Library report confirming that information has never come into public domain. SPEAKER: Well—[Interruption] Sorry? [Interruption] I'm going to put it to the House although I'm not sure of the library's ability to ever provide such a certificate accurately. I mean you can't prove a negative Dr Reti. Is there any objection to those documents being tabled? There appears to be none. Documents by leave laid on the Table of the House.
