SpeechSIMON O'CONNOR (National—Tāmaki): I want to actually start with the question of disinformation—a very important topic because in the last 20 minutes coming across my newsfeed is information saying Dr David Clark may be not coming back after the election in 2023. I want to know if that's disinformation or not because he's been a good man in this House and I just want him to acknowledge that is true and not disinformation. To acknowledge in all seriousness his work and obviously he's got things in the future but to just acknowledge him in that announcement today. If that be true he's allowed to sit me down for dis- or misinformation.Look this is a large bill—CHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): So tempting Mr O'Connor.SIMON O'CONNOR: Sorry?CHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): Carry on.SIMON O'CONNOR: I was being nice for a change Mr Chair. Hon Member: Who is this guy?SIMON O'CONNOR: Who is this?" that's right!Barbara Edmonds: For a change.SIMON O'CONNOR: For a change. That's right; I don't want to mislead the committee.Look a couple of very basic questions and I want to admit to the Minister I'm not an expert in this space. So first and foremost: which is going to be the primary ministry responsible for overseeing this? I take on board what the Minister's indicated. This is not one great central database which the Crown is controlling; it's a framework of a set of regulations which if I heard correctly outside organisations can if you will accredit to and follow through. But it would be interesting to know which is going to be the primary ministry if that is even in the correct question.Secondly: who actually ultimately owns the data? I suppose fundamentally it's up to each organisation with their terms and conditions. I certainly know in the medical space we—the patient I understand—are meant to own our own records even though a doctor for example or medical practice might manage it. So that may not be a particularly relevant question. Coming out of that because I expect it's not specifically in this legislation: as this framework is set up can he give the committee some confidence that he's already engaging with his ministerial colleagues with their responsibilities that Crown agencies will be signing up to this framework? Is that something we expect Minister Government agencies will be signing up to? So I acknowledge the Minister of Health here; would we be seeing Health New Zealand swiftly signing up to this framework or do they already work within their own? I genuinely don't know. But it would be good to give us some surety that if this framework is in place—we would imagine some in the private sector for example would accredit themselves to it. Is there work being done to swiftly bring on the likes of Health New Zealand and other entities?Then the broader question—and it's something that I've seen in the Economic Development Science and Innovation Committee report; you referenced it Minister in your opening comments. There's a lot of misunderstanding out here around what all parts of this bill do. A lot of people think this is again about a massive central repository of information and I think it would help me and help the committee if the Minister could speak to that misunderstanding. I want to be really really clear: it's the misunderstanding of some in the public; it's not the misunderstanding of the Minister the select committee myself or the House. But I think it would be useful if the Minister could just elaborate on how this is not a central repository of information.And if it's not overloading the Minister and his officials at 7 minutes to 5 what's going to happen to the likes of RealMe? I know that is more of a singular Government-run system. Is that going to continue in parallel or will we see a whole new system in his mind coming into being that this not so much replaces it but sets in a new framework? Can RealMe continue on or should some other work be developing? Thank you."
