Dean JacquiPart 2 Main amendmentsHon JACQUI DEAN (National—Waitaki): Thank you Mr Chair. Part 2 which contains the main amendments of this three-page bill is like—Hon Scott Simpson: Spaghetti.Hon JACQUI DEAN: Yes—it's very vague. It's hard to get; it's like a jellyfish I guess—Hon Scott Simpson: Blancmange.Hon JACQUI DEAN: Or blancmange more like a blancmange you're right because it's very hard to get a grip on what it may or may not apply to. So there's just a couple of points I want to make. I know I've got colleagues with many many questions but for a start I am interested to know from the Minister—I have a question around the processing of requests by the Minister.The first one I want to know is: what might the nature of those requests be? Would they be requests for an exemption on behalf of a family? Would they be requests for inclusion by someone from Australia for example? I'd like clarification from the Minister around the provision which says that a request may be processed accepted or refused by an automated electronic system". I'd also like clarification around the system's decisions. So what is the system—I think it's pretty critical that the committee in the absence of a select committee examination where this kind of question exactly would have been asked knows—what is the system that makes the decisions? Is it an existing system? Is there extra software that needs to be installed? What is the cost of that? Because it could be considerable given that there are a number of exemptions depending on whether or not people have a temporary entry class visa or need to apply for a waiver. I think it's important for the understanding of the committee given that it is not at all clear in this bill. I think it's very important that those questions are addressed by the Minister. Which Minister—which Minister? Is it the Minister of Immigration or is it the Minister of Tourism? Could it be the Minister of Conservation or could it be the Minister of Local Government? Could it be the Minister of Internal Affairs? I think we need to know. So if the Minister could address those questions I think we would all be very grateful.What assurance have the Ministers or Cabinet sought that the automated electronic system will be adequate and will be let's say not subject to somebody going into a search bar and pressing on "Search" and entering a certain selection of words—for example such as "Budget 2019-20"—and then getting a lot of information? So what assurances has the Minister—whichever Minister—or Cabinet sought about the level of security in the system which after all deals with some pretty personal details and confidential information? Goodness knows I know this is a Government which sets great store in protecting confidential information. It's well known for it in fact. So I think it's important that the committee really does have an understanding and can assure the Parliament in fact because I know that the Green Party will be very concerned about breaches of security in the New Zealand whole-of-Government systems. Of course the shining light is Treasury! They of course protect information very very—OK no sorry I'll start that again. So I do think we need to know that if my relation from the United Kingdom wishes to come into New Zealand—their application or their transit—how will that work? I think it's important that the Minister of Tourism gets to his feet and explains just how the process will work because I know he knows it because it will have been part of the consideration of this bill. We haven't had a chance to know it through the select committee process but we know that the Minister of Tourism knows exactly how the process of transitioning—[Time expired]"
