    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want the Vice Chair to take note of one area in this Bill. That it is not just a right to access the data with respect to the data subject, but we must have a mandatory sub-clause that requires the agency to present the data to the subject. Even if you have the right to access data, where will you access it? How will you know the data is ready for access and who will tell you that your data is ready for access? It is only fair to ensure that once the data has been collected, it is presented to the subject so that we are not saying that you have a right to access and correct it, because you have been allowed to collect false and misleading data. At what point can they do these corrections? At what point will they access the data? Who will tell them when to access it? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that we clarify that within the Bill. If we will not so, you will find that an agency will collect data and at the point of collecting it, they say they will take one month to do so, because they have 100 subjects and you are only one of them. When it is ready, you will have a right to access it because the Bill says that you will have a right to do so. However, they will not tell you when they finish. If they finish and publish it, they will say the Bill gives you the right to access it, but you did not come to access it. So, if you have a right to access the data and you are not aware of how to access it because some of the subjects may be illiterate, like our mothers, it is important that there be something else that demands from the agency that they take this information back. They must take the information back, read it to the subject, explain it to them and ensure that the subject understands what has been collected from them and how it has been processed. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
