1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: You really got to read it to believe it, and

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: even in reading it might well be you still can't

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: believe it. A report, one of a number of investigations

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: now underway, has reported back on where the personal census

5
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: and COVID intel collected at Manaeua Marai was misused for

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: electoral purposes. Now it's important to point out this particular

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: report didn't have it within its scope to find out

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: whether the Marah did anything shonky. That report has still

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: the comets with the police. The Maria, if you recall,

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: was managed by a Takata tash Kemp, also a Mari

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: party candidate. She went on to win the electric by

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: a handful of votes. What this report does find is proof,

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: beyond any shadow of a doubt, that even when you

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: stack the public service full of people the way the

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: Labor government did, they are still incompetent. The head of

16
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: Stats going he won't be reappointed. Each of the departments

17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: looked into Stats Health New Zealand Ministry of Health. They've

18
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: all been found hopelessly wanting a combination of one not

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: really having any oversight of information that may or may

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: not be protected, may or may not be inappropriately used

21
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: in two, when concerns were raised, still doing nothing about it.

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: High trust models were in place. Ha ha ha, high trust models.

23
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Remember the gold in the durned hipkin days of the

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: high trust models. It basically confirms the Public Service Commissioners

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: finding last week, having had a look at the public Service,

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: it isn't fit for purpose. It has too many meetings,

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: There are too many departments. We need a few gotten

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: rid off. And if you designed it today it wouldn't

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: look like this. No safeguards, no regard for privacy and

30
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: the issues around privacy. The report has just a litany

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: of uselessness. And remember the alleged skull duggers part whether

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: the Maori Party used some of this intel to help

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: their election campaign. That out comes still to surface. It's

34
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: bad enough as it is. If they then get pinged,

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: it's a full blown scandal. Think about it. You potentially

36
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: have a Parliament made up in numbers in a way

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: it should not have been. At least one head has

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: rolled or is rolling, but you can't make the stuff up.

39
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: It's gliding on. It's worse than most would have thought,

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: and it's not even over. The worst may in fact

41
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: still be to come. For more from the mic Hosking Breakfast.
