The bill clarifies the Statistician's ability to delegate their functions under the Public Service Act, with enforcement actions unable to be delegated outside the Public Service. Any delegate must comply with all requirements in the bill, and the Statistician continues to be both responsible and accountable for actions taken. The bill in its current form removes Officers of Parliament, the Office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives, and the Parliamentary Service from the definition of public sector agency and makes it clear that the Statistician cannot make mandatory requests for data from these bodies. These changes address concerns raised by the Ombudsman and the Auditor-General in their submissions to the select committee.
