4. Question No. 4—Prime MinisterHon SIMON BRIDGES (Leader of the Opposition) to the Prime MinisterQuestion No. 4—Prime Minister4. Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Leader of the Opposition) to the Prime Minister: Does she stand by all her Government's statements and actions?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Prime Minister): Yes especially today's official opening of the Cancer Control Agency who will play a critical role in ensuring all New Zealanders get world-class cancer care no matter who they are or where they live. Modernising our approach to cancer won't happen overnight but with strong leadership from the agency a greater focus on prevention screening and treatment we're well placed to make progress. In doing this work I do want to acknowledge the family of Blair Vining who of course was integral in some of the advocacy around greater consistency of care.Hon Simon Bridges: Does she stand by her statement that it was always a part of the policy design" to allow authorised firearms dealers to get greater access to information regarding the gun buy-back scheme?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: My reference there was to the fact that dealers had sought to be agents who are able to collect firearms store them and then hand them over to police as part of the buy-back. The feedback we had when we were looking at the Australian model was that some gun owners would prefer to hand over their guns to a dealer rather than to return them to the police. We made provision for that in the development of the programme which enabled dealers to be part of those arrangements.Hon Simon Bridges: How many people have accessed private data from the gun buy-back database?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: The advice that I have received via the authorised agents in this case which is SAP is that one person was able to access that information.Hon Simon Bridges: When was the data first accessed?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I'm aware that the police were advised yesterday. The member will forgive me if I can't tell you exactly when the access was obtained but my belief is recently.Hon Simon Bridges: Is she certain her police Minister was right when he said that the only group who has shared this information are the Council of Licensed Firearms Owners' lawyers?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Sorry can you repeat the question?Hon Simon Bridges: Is she certain her police Minister was right when he said that the only group who has shared this information are the Council of Licensed Firearms Owners' lawyers?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Actually we've been advised by the police—and the private provider of course who has overseen the development of this programme that's allowed people to log on and register the return of their guns and then dealers also to be involved—that only one dealer logged in and viewed information that they shouldn't have. That individual person has given assurances to the police that they have not shared that information subsequent to that. I have seen the claims by the Council of Licensed Firearms Owners. I would ask them to cooperate with the police because at this stage we have no further information to demonstrate that it has gone as far as has been claimed. At that point yesterday the Minister of Police was referring to statements that have been made by the Council of Licensed Firearms Owners."
