This protection is entirely fictitious if there is no penalty. You mention the Security of Information Act. It has a full range of penalties and sanctions. There are criminal penalties spelled out in this act. Here, there is really only an expression of intent.
In our view, this is a major deficiency in what is proposed. I do not believe in good intentions. I am here as a member of Parliament to legislate, in other words to enact laws that will have the effect of laws and that will be enforceable. This is not enforceable, it is merely an intent. This is nothing personal against you. I am simply saying that this is what I have before me and as a member of Parliament I find it lacking.
