The bill provides a robust framework for enabling safe and appropriate access to data for research to benefit New Zealanders. This is an internationally recognised function of national statistical officers set out in the implementation guidelines for the UN's fundamental principles of official statistics. Research is an important output of statistical agencies globally and incredibly important for the betterment of peoples. It's one of the reasons why, of course, the Data Iwi Leaders Group has argued in the Mana Ōrite agreement that there should be data collected to fill gaps and so that we produce high-quality research that betters the population outcomes. So removing research from the Act would be against what the UN fundamental principles suggest and against what the Data Iwi Leaders Group are arguing for in their agreement with the Government. So I will challenge in due course that particular Supplementary Order Paper put forward by the Māori Party. To remove research from the Act, I think, is short-sighted.
