METROPOLITAN CEMETERIES
BOARD — DATA BREACH
630. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the minister representing the
Minister for Local Government:
I refer the minister, in the first
instance, to her response to my question without notice 37 of 28 February regarding
data breaches at the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board.
(1) Is it not the
case that the Auditor General's Information systems audit: State
government 2022–23 released in April highlights a similar culture
of systemic IT security failings across other organisations the minister
oversees?
(2) If no to (1),
to what does she attribute these most recent shortcomings, some of which the
Auditor General notes have been ongoing for at least two years now?
(3) What action is the minister taking to secure
public data within her portfolio responsibilities moving forward?
