The Privacy Commissioner's pushing for strong incentives against cyber criminals in the Manage My Health data breach. 

Michael Webster's unveiled the initial Terms of Reference for his inquiry into the data breach affecting 127 thousand users that came to light early this month.  

The first phase will focus on the scale of the breach, its impacts, and Manage My Health's responsibilities and safeguards.  

Webster told Mike Hosking he's concerned nothing will come from his recommendations on how to prevent this from happening again.  

He says unlike other privacy regulators around the world, we don't have the ability to seek financial penalties or fines for those who don't do enough to protect our personal information.

Michael Webster: Privacy Commissioner on the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry into the Manage My Health data breach

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

 

Pakistan: 6/10 

Mystery of the week. Did they host talks? Were there any talks? What's the talks v BS ratio? 

 

Oil: 7/10 

Specifically, the Government's handling. Tickets, swaps, deals, and unsolicited offers –  this looks and feels like it's in the hands of adults. 

 

Labour and India: 3/10 

This is why we can be grateful they are not in office for the war. They do little but stall and carp. The day you are against free trade you are basically not a New Zealander. 

 

Booze: 7/10 

Nice one Kieran, as the kid from the Wairarapa brings the modern world to Easter. 

 

Allbirds: 3/10 

It’s a sad story of a dream that was destined for a troubled end. Shoes are about fashion, not feels, and style, not vibes. Only a very small percentage of people are ever prepared to look rude while saving the planet.

Mark the Week: Kieran McAnulty is bringing the modern world to Easter

It’s a bit early given it's a short week, but at four and a half-ish weeks into Operation Epic Fury, there's a reason to be depressed and a reason to be hopeful. 

To the bad news first. 

This hasn’t been a great week for the Americans. They have been left with talks that may or may not be happening and a lot of rhetoric that sounds like last week's rhetoric – "we've won", "there is nothing left", and "we could leave anytime". 

Except, the missiles that fall on Israel seem to indicate that for a place that have been bombed to flatness, they keep finding things to fire and that’s before you got to the hacking of Kash Patel's phone, which was just plain embarrassing. 

Trump's demeanour didn’t help either. A winner doesn’t whine and man has he whined a lot this week, to the point it appears he will end the war, as predicted, but has worked up a narrative that allows him to avoid the small issue of the Strait of Hormuz. 

Which is of course why he is whining. He's cocked it up. 

One way or another, the fact that they didn’t see the Gulf states being hit and didn’t see a waterway being used as ransom will go down in US military history as yet another interventionist cock-up. 

The new timeline is a bit of a worry. 2-3 weeks fits in with the 4-6 timeline, roughly. The trouble though, if you follow Trump, is that he uses the "2-3 weeks" line a lot, on a lot of different things that, as it turns out, don’t take 2-3 weeks – almost as though he makes it up as he goes along. 

Also not great is Netanyahu, who claimed they were a bit over halfway as far as targets go, which is not 2-3 weeks, given it's been almost five. 

But to the good news – the Iranian President has said they will stop if they get a guarantee they are not attacked again. And this is part of the exit strategy. 

A bit of back and forward, nuclear material cleared, regime largely gone, some sort of rebuild, money sorted, and it's kind of got a Gaza 2.0 vibe about it. 

And then of course 2pm this afternoon is the address to the world. "An important update". Does that have the makings of the end? Let's see. 

But the driving forces are the driving forces that have been at play all along – petrol in America costs too much, the cost of living is up, hiring is down, recession fears are up and the midterms are coming. 

As we said last week, Trump might be mad but on the political survival front self-interest is a finely honed skill of his.
