Alan Hulse: Employment Advocate says if whistleblowers didn't stand up for what's right the census report would've never happened
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
Vindication for whistleblowers, following revelations officials lack census data safeguards, when sharing with third parties. An inquiry shows multiple data-keeping failures from Stats NZ, Health NZ and the Ministry of Health, and has led to the head of Stats NZ stepping down. Employment Advocate Allan Hulse told Andrew Dickens all whistleblowers faced retaliation during this process. Hulse says they stood up and told the truth, and without them, the report wouldn't exist. An investigation was ordered following claims Manurewa Marae misused Census and Covid-19 vaccine data. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
