Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

I am sorry to interrupt the Minister, but clarification along the way would be very helpful. She has asked her officials to see what other sectors should be brought in and has given an indication of the kind of test, but we are dealing with a bit more fog here. Is she promising us something in primary legislation or will it appear in secondary legislation? Will it just be something that government policy will cover, and we will have no say on the kinds of sectors that should be included? For instance, the Minister is the Space Minister. Do we have an indication that space, or any of the key activities within space, will be included? Do we have any white smoke from the department as to whether that sector will be included? Will we hear by Report what sectors might be included? It is all a bit vague, and that does not give us a great deal of assurance.
