Govt needs officer to explain future tech impacts - Brislen

From Morning Report, 7:44 am on 30 August 2018

Clare Curran was demoted from the Cabinet after failing to record a Beehive meeting with Derek Handley, a candidate for the job of Government Chief Technology Officer. And now the tech sector is up in arms about the role. Commentator Paul Brislen joins us with his analysis. Morning Report has been asking for an interview with Clare Curran on this story. We have approached her office at least three times on this since her sacking from Cabinet and demotion from the Government Digital Services and Open Government portfolios, but we've been told she has nothing more to say.
