Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Justice): In relation to the first part of the member's question, I stand by my full statement that "The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 sets out people's basic rights and equally determines the power of the State and its agencies. No person can be compelled to submit to an interview with the police apart from an obligation to provide identifying details, name, address, and occupation. I could not conceive of such a power to compel someone to make a statement ever being acceptable to New Zealanders". In relation to the second part of the member's question, I note that the previous Government considered mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse that would have been accompanied by a criminal sanction when they made changes to the Oranga Tamariki Act, and they decided not to progress that provision. They had the chance and they didn't take it then.
