Story: Councils join data-sharing scheme

Where is a need?

I am unable to identify anything in this plan that will in any way be of benefit to those who will fund it - the tax payers. It may well be an exciting innovation to Council executives and will enable them to play, not only with information relevant to their council, but with the information held by other councils.
It would certainly require an increase in council staff, either direct or outsourced, to manage the operation of the plan.
I would contend that this is not within the scope of a Council's responsibility and must not be financially supported by tax income. Should any Council decide to implement this then it must certainly require a majority approval by elected Councillors and not introduced as an executive decision.
I further contend that any sharing of access to any personal details is an offence under the Data Information Act and is likely to be a breach Human Rights.
