I do not propose to comment on the sentencing decision of the ACT Supreme Court. Judicial independence is a vital part of our system of government. It ensures that the Court acts independently and without interference from the Parliament or the Executive.
I am aware, from the Court’s publicly available judgment, that Mr Burch’s wife operates a brothel in Fyshwick. Whether Mr Burch’s residence in that place is in accordance with his bail conditions is a matter for the Courts to determine.
Access Canberra—data security
Mr Ramsay (in reply to a question and supplementary questions by Ms Lawder and Mr Wall on Thursday, 30 July 2020):
Question 1:
Access Canberra continuously strives to streamline processes and enable customers to easily manage and renew their licences online in accordance with data privacy and data security requirements.
Driver licence renewal emails are only sent to clients who have opted into the email reminder service. These clients have chosen to create an account with an email address to receive timely reminders via electronic means.
To ensure Access Canberra is demonstrating good data privacy and security practice, action is being undertaken to have this detail removed to prevent any future privacy concerns.
Questions 2 and 3:
ACT Government continually reviews and seeks the latest advice to improve security. There are several measures currently underway as part of continually improving data security across government. These include:
• Conducting of a whole of government Threat and Risk Assessment, which is a scan across the people, process and technology security and data risks, to identify these and make recommendations for improvement.
• Finalising a whole of government Data Governance and Management Framework as the ACT Government’s guidebook for consistent best practice data governance and management.
• User education and awareness programs to improve staff awareness of common security risks and what to do if a breach or attempted breach is encountered. “Friendly Phishing” is a program to improve staff awareness and response to social engineering and phishing attacks, which are among the most common attacks, and monitor effectiveness in managing these attacks over time.
