12. Question No. 12—Arts Culture and HeritageDr SHANE RETI (National—Whangarei) to the Minister for Arts Culture and HeritageQuestion No. 12—Arts Culture and Heritage12. Dr SHANE RETI (National—Whangarei) to the Minister for Arts Culture and Heritage: Does she stand by all her statements and actions around data breaches?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Minister for Arts Culture and Heritage): Thank you. Yes.Dr Shane Reti: Is there another recent data breach that she has not revealed in this House and does that data breach involve a child?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: The member will be responding I can only assume to a written parliamentary question that the member already asked about. I think he somewhat overstates perhaps the gravity. He's discussing I believe the notification letter that we send to interested parties when taonga is found. There's a process that the Ministry for Culture and Heritage goes through under the Protected Objects Act. Under that process in the information for one of the items that was found as part of the Protected Objects Act the name of the person who found it was included in some of the details that were sent to interested parties for that protected object. If the member believes that this issue in particular warrants the time of this House it's his prerogative—it is his prerogative. But ultimately the member is familiar with the parameters of this issue—he is aware of the parameters of this issue—and I do not believe placing it on register as if it somehow may be the gravitas of Tuia is fair.Dr Shane Reti: Did the data breach involve a child?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I know that this involved someone who found an archaeological item and under the Protected Objects Act the details of that find were shared with the interested parties which I imagine would have been—[Interruption] I cannot tell the member the age of the individual but I can acknowledge that that was the data breach that the member is speaking to.Dr Shane Reti: Can she confirm written question No. 37461 that identifies the data breach involved a child?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: That is the same thing that we are both talking about. The reason the member knows about it—[Interruption] I cannot confirm the age of the individual because I do not have it. But the member knows about the issue because the Ministry for Culture and Heritage identified it to him when he asked the question on written questions.Dr Shane Reti: Did the opt-out database breach she identified in the House recently actually occur a year ago and was it only detected this year when the ministry tried to rerun the same process?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: For the sake of clarity the member is referring to a database that was held by an external agent separate to the Government who held a number of names of people interested in a particular memorial. The ministry were preparing to invite interested parties to an event. They sought extra information of extra parties that would like to be added to that database. When it was returned back to the third party they determined that they should have individually asked those individuals if they would like to be on the ongoing database. That is the breach the member refers to. I cannot give the exact date of the time that that occurred.Dr Shane Reti: Can she confirm in written question No. 37461 regarding the data breach of an archaeological find (the archaeologist's child)." is included in that question?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: That's the exact question we've already traversed and we've already discussed. Of course every written question obviously is confirmed—that's why the member has it."
