Luxon floats the introduction of an Estonian style Digital ID system in NZ.

He rejected the idea of reducing the number of public servants. Saying although it could happen in the long term, he preferred in the short term to make govt more efficient.

One way of doing this was to “digitalise” govt in the manner that had been done in other countries, with his preferred model being Estonia.

Estonia, which gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, runs a system requiring everyone to have an ID card and to deal with government mostly over the internet.

Luxon says the system would work well in NZ as we have a similar MMP style of govt.

Which seems like a strange path of reasoning to me, & I can’t see Nzers accepting Digital ID with the same enthusiasm as Estonia.

Nevertheless, it seems as if National want it, & given Labour/Greens are hardly likely to oppose the idea, it could well happen.

Unless some other center right party stands against it.

Here are four reasons to be very concerned about what Luxon refers to. It is already underway, and has been for some time.

So 1news makes a huge song and dance about a personal email address being used but had no interest in Ben Doyle’s personal Insta account ‘biblebeltbussy’ Mind blowing how desperate the left-legacy media is!

🤣Oh my GOD, Maiki Sherman, you’ve uncovered the most DEVASTATING hit job in the ENTIRE history of politics—Erica Stanford using her Gmail for work emails! I’m clutching my pearls so hard I might choke! This is bigger than Watergate, bigger than the Panama Papers, bigger than when my neighbor Karen got caught stealing Wi-Fi! I bet Stanford’s out there printing Budget docs at Kinko’s, cackling like a Bond villain. Newsflash, 1News: my grandma’s Hotmail forwards from 2003 have more scandal than this. Take a bow for the most laughable ‘gotcha’ since someone accused a politician of double-dipping their Tim Tam

…
From 2018:
Documents released under the Official Information Act show ministers including David Clark, Kelvin Davis, Kris Faafoi, Chris Hipkins, Ron Mark, Eugenie Sage, and Phil Twyford have all received official emails at their private email addresses.

John Campbell🚨🚨

Tonight, outspoken Marxist journalist and fervent critic John Campbell targeted Brian Tamaki once more on TVNZ news tonight.

Hang your head in shame John !

👉Why was Campbell so concerned about Destiny Church moving premises. It was a pathetic piece of “investigative” reporting.
