On to it Ben. And, we have the human expertise / OS community to build it… Some prototyping / capability building with an awesome group of serious folk committed to public-digital-infrastructure, gov-as-platform and rules-as-code in progress here: https://github.com/digitalaotearoa/legaleligibility Ooo and hosted by our only onshore, kiwi owned cloud to ensure sovereignty and Te Tiriti compliance: https://catalystcloud.nz/
In support of this, in between things, I have just started pitching a business case to setup a secure point to point (no middle data store) inter agency data exchange. Following the same approach that underpins the Estonian and Finnish governments data interoperability capability.
It allows orgs to maintain their own agnostic data / information systems and retain their data sovereignty. Moving away from sharing data files with each other over sftp or email and instead enabling encrypted access to data at source, through apis and a secure front door on a closed network.
Enabled across govt and key sectors, this extends out to citizen access of their held data (via realme credentials) and its sharing to those they want to access the info I.e. think quick and easy approval for loans where you allow a bank temporary access to your earnings records from ird rather than certified copies of your pay slips.
If you are keen to know more hit me up. All the building blocks and capability exists. I’ve got the vendors etc ready to roll, it just needs 1 or 2 more senior dce’s onboard to get the pilot started.
Enabling this here in nz, following what other countries have already done, could radically change govt’s ability to service its citizens and also for citizens to have more control and use of their govt held taonga.
With the right support I could deliver a working implementation in 3-6 months with a full production pilot connected to the govt pki service to manage the encryption and security layer in 12 months. Within 3 years we could have all major ministries/agencies connected and citizens accessing their key private data held in those orgs.

Thanks Sam, sounds really interesting, have reached out on LinkedIn, look forward to finding out more.
