Dean JacquiHon JACQUI DEAN (National—Waitaki): Thank you Madam Chair—it's fine. I want to make a few comments thanks very much about the Department of Internal Affairs. I wasn't represented on the committee at the time of the financial review so I'm really going off the papers here. But I do have a strong interest in one or two of the items that were subject to the financial review—back in February I think it was.First of all I've worked with the Department of Internal Affairs off and on and have done for the time I've been in Parliament and I was interested to read in the report that several recommendations were made through the Office of the Auditor-General around recommendations for improvement including that the Department of Internal Affairs implement its planned system for recording and monitoring of passport fraud. It's pretty dry when you do read it in the papers that comment but it's increasingly important to us as a sovereign State New Zealand that we do have secure borders. I am mindful that the previous Government put an additional $14.5 million I think it was for the Department of Internal Affairs in the change from a five-yearly to 10-yearly passport duration period.Together with adding inconvenience for New Zealanders and others travelling across our borders with a New Zealand passport it also invested significantly in 2015 and 2016 in enhancing passport security. I think that this Government should monitor as has the select committee the performance of the Department of Internal Affairs to ensure that it does in fact implement its system for recording and monitoring of passport fraud. So that will be a red flag for me for the financial review for next year. I think it's an important issue for us in New Zealand.It was also recommended by the Office of the Auditor-General that it refine its measures to report its performance against its strategic objectives. Well this is Governance 101 isn't it? Surely the Department of Internal Affairs should be very mindful of its strategic objectives. I would expect this Government and certainly the Governance and Administration Committee will be watching this closely in the next year.I want now to turn to a couple of other issues: the uptake and development of RealMe which is an online secure identity verification. Under our Government RealMe came to be and we were continuing with the roll-out. My plea to this Government is that they do not take their eye off the further implementation of RealMe because just like the monitoring and enhancement of passport security identity verification on an online platform for dealing with Government is not only very important for individuals but also for small businesses who make up 97 percent of New Zealand business. So RealMe as an identity verification system is very important for the New Zealand economy.Finally Madam Chair I want to make a few comments around Fire and Emergency New Zealand—formerly the Fire Service Commission—and make a plea to the Minister to watch closely the implementation of the new Fire and Emergency New Zealand. There are more than 13000 people involved in Fire and Emergency New Zealand all around New Zealand into its furthest corners—no doubt the Chatham Islands included. Those people are firefighters but also volunteers—community volunteers. As the representative of a rural constituency where there are fire stations in every little town and corner of that constituency and indeed all around New Zealand I know it's those volunteers who are important to community cohesion. They've got to be ready to respond in a disaster. They've got to be ready to get out on the roads and increasingly deal with what they find as their job. I plead with the Government to make sure that this new structure around Fire and Emergency New Zealand is rolled out properly.
