Responding to a speech delivered by Human Services Minister Joe Hockey at the national press club last week, APF chair Anna Johnston took a swipe at both Hockey and the Access Card chair, Professor Allan Fels.

Speaking at the APF's Public Interest Advocacy Centre, Johnston called on the government for full disclosure on the initial KPMG validity report, as well as the Privacy Impact Assessment.

In both cases, she said Hockey has gone back on his word.

"We know that a Privacy Impact Assessment was commissioned by the government on the proposal, but the government has refused to release it, contrary to a commitment Joe Hockey gave me that he would," Johnston said.

"First we were told it was because the report was not complete; then they had to admit it was not true, it was indeed complete. Then we were told the assessment was based on an earlier version of the proposal; but then again the KPMG "business case" still being touted by the government in support of its plans was also based on the same, earlier model.
