The Wake-Up Call That Will Be Ignored
PSA National Secretary Fleur Fitzsimons calls the ManageMyHealth breach “a wake-up call for the entire health sector in New Zealand.” She’s right. But wake-up calls only matter if those in power are awake
—and Simeon Brown has been sleep-walking through a catastrophe of his own making.
As I documented previously, 126,000 New Zealanders had their most intimate health information stolen by the Kazu ransomware group—108 gigabytes, 428,337 files, including HIV status, mental health diagnoses, reproductive records, and genetic test results.
Brown’s response was to minimize it as having “no clinical impact.”
But now the pattern becomes chillingly clear. This breach didn’t happen in a vacuum. It happened precisely because Simeon Brown’s government systematically dismantled the digital defences protecting New Zealand’s health system.
“We have seen it before in the public health system with the Waikato Hospital ransomware attack in 2021, and yet this government failed to heed that lesson in forcing Health NZ to cut the jobs of experts running digital services.”
The government had “blundered“ when they cut off the jobs of many IT experts “safeguarding the public health system.”
Hospitals are now using outdated systems but no longer have experts who could understand their weaknesses.
“The risks are too high to play fast and loose with data systems - it’s a ticking time bomb.“
The bomb just exploded. And Simeon Brown lit the fuse.
The Massacre of Expertise: 1,120 IT Jobs Destroyed
In November 2024, Health New Zealand announced it would slash 1,120 IT and digital roles—representing 47 percent of its data and digital workforce. Not 10 percent. Not 20 percent. Nearly half of the people responsible for keeping New Zealand’s health IT systems secure, functional, and updated.
Digital Health Association chief executive Ryl Jensen warned these cuts “could have catastrophic consequences for the country’s health system.” She was not exaggerating.
“Many of these people are responsible for keeping the health system’s aging IT systems operational,”
Jensen said.
“These systems need regular maintenance and updates to function effectively. Without this critical support, the health system could face significant disruptions, and front-line clinicians may struggle to deliver timely and efficient patient care without the necessary digital tools.”
New Zealand’s health ecosystem relies on more than 6,000 IT applications, many of which urgently need attention. The Digital Health Association warned in a report to the Chair of the Health Select Committee that funding cuts pose
“a dire threat to the sustainability and progress of New Zealand’s health system.”
Yet Simeon Brown—the man with zero health qualifications, the anti-abortion crusader, the evangelical ideologue—pressed ahead. By December 2024, IT workers were being told their jobs were on the line. On the West Coast, nine of 13 IT workers faced redundancy—a 69 percent cut.
One IT worker warned:
“Patients will die.“
Another said:
“There will be deaths because of this.“
“We’re flat-out keeping out-of-date systems alive.”
One Nelson Hospital IT engineer, Bernd Wachter, revealed he had to “scrub up” and fix a malfunctioning computer in an operating theatre mid-surgery to allow the operating team to monitor the patient’s vital signs.
This is the reality Simeon Brown created. IT staff so stretched they’re fixing computers during surgery while he slashes their numbers by half.
The Projects Cancelled, The Defences Dismantled
The cuts didn’t just eliminate people. They eliminated 136 IT projects designed to modernize New Zealand’s health IT infrastructure
—projects that would have strengthened cybersecurity, upgraded booking systems, improved radiology software, and brought the health system “into the 21st century.”
Health NZ confirmed it would stop or defer 136 IT projects as part of the cuts. This followed over $380 million in cuts to data and digital programmes in Budget 2024.
“The cuts don’t just impact the present—they stall the future. Numerous transformative IT projects designed to bring the health system into the 21st century have already been mothballed following over $380 million in cuts to data and digital programmes in Budget 2024.”
So while ManageMyHealth was operating with 2008-era encryption protocols, with no multi-factor authentication, with no Chief Information Security Officer—the government was cancelling the projects that could have prevented breaches like this.
Health NZ acting chief information technology officer Darren Douglass admitted in a national virtual meeting:
“This is absolutely not about doing more with less. These cuts mean that we will deliver less. What we want to do is make sure we’re delivering less in the areas that matter least.“
Apparently, cybersecurity and patient data protection are among “the areas that matter least.”
The Contractors Get Rich While Experts Get Sacked
But here’s where the neoliberal grift becomes obscene. While Brown was slashing 1,120 permanent IT expert roles, Health NZ spent $72 million on contractors and consultants for a single IT project in the lead-up to the job cuts.
One recruitment company alone—Robert Walters—was paid $17 million in two years for temporary contractors while permanent, experienced IT professionals were being made redundant.
This is the neoliberal playbook perfected:
Sack the permanent experts with institutional knowledge. Replace them with expensive contractors who bill premium rates, deliver temporary solutions, and leave before accountability arrives. Extract maximum profit while externalizing all risk to the public.
The PSA filed legal action against Health NZ in February 2025, claiming the organization had breached employment law with its proposed job cuts. Fitzsimons stated:
“Health NZ Te Whatu Ora is obliged to ensure health workers are valued, respected and supported and that patient safety is paramount. These have been breached through a succession of poorly planned and executed restructures.“
The union warned that cutting IT staff could leave Health NZ vulnerable to cyber attacks, with patient data at risk.
They were right. And now 126,000 people know it.
Brown’s Belated “Concern”: Too Little, Too Late, Too Cynical
In March 2025, as public outcry mounted, Brown suddenly asked Health NZ to “look at its proposal around data and digital to make sure that it is going to be able to support the current systems.”
This was after announcing 1,120 job cuts. After cancelling 136 IT projects. After slashing $380 million from digital health budgets. After experts warned patients would die.
“We do need a transition to proper 21st century systems at Health NZ, that is going to take some time. In the meantime, we need to make sure we are supporting those existing systems so that we can provide the care patients need and support clinicians in the important work they do.”
Translation:
I destroyed the workforce that maintains existing systems, cancelled the projects that would build new systems, and now I’m surprised the systems are failing. But I’ll say some words about “support” and hope you forget I caused this.
“The minister is finally waking up to the lasting damage that the job losses of 1100 specialist data and digital workers would mean. We need a clear commitment from the Minister to reverse the cuts and instead work with our dedicated IT professionals to make sure patient safety is central to any change.”
Brown provided no such commitment. By May 2025, Health NZ confirmed job cuts at five departments, with the total confirmed net loss reaching 750 jobs, including more than 400 in the digital services team—even as legal challenges continued.
The massacre of expertise continued. And eight months later, 126,000 people’s health data was stolen.
The Government’s Own Documents Expose The Betrayal
The most damning evidence comes from the government itself. In Simeon Brown’s February 2025 Health Delivery Plan, he acknowledged that
“digital infrastructure was fragmented, with about 6000 applications and 100 digital networks“—roughly “one application for every 16 Health New Zealand staff members, which is unsustainable.”
Brown wrote:
“The public health system continues to operate under serious strain. For a long period of time now, it has had difficulty managing within its allocated resources, has a workforce feeling more and more stressed, facing increasing demands and significant financial challenges.”
He acknowledged the system was broken. He acknowledged IT infrastructure was fragmented. He acknowledged staff were stressed.
And then he cut 47% of the IT workforce.
The plan promised Brown would “not make cuts to frontline services, will not reduce frontline staffing levels.” But IT staff are frontline. When a computer fails during surgery, when patient records can’t be accessed, when ransomware locks hospital systems—IT staff ARE the frontline between functional healthcare and catastrophic failure.
Brown’s definition of “frontline” excludes the very people who keep the frontline operational. This is ideological doublespeak dressed as fiscal responsibility.
The Waikato Lesson: Willfully Ignored, Again
The May 2021 Waikato DHB ransomware attack should have been the definitive lesson. It affected 4,200 people, took four months to restore systems, and led to Privacy Commissioner warnings for all DHBs to fix IT vulnerabilities.
“We have seen it before in the public health system with the Waikato Hospital ransomware attack in 2021, and yet this government failed to heed that lesson in forcing Health NZ to cut the jobs of experts running digital services.”
Four and a half years later, the ManageMyHealth breach affects 30 times as many people. The ransom demand is higher. The data stolen is larger. The security failures are worse.
And Simeon Brown—who wasn’t Health Minister during Waikato but became Health Minister in January 2025—spent his first year cutting the very IT staff who could have prevented this.
This is not incompetence. This is willful negligence. When you are warned, when you have historical precedent, when experts tell you “patients will die,” and you proceed anyway—that is not a mistake. That is a choice.
The Ideological Rot: Why Brown Did This
Why would a Health Minister gut cybersecurity expertise during a known period of increasing cyber threats? Because Simeon Brown’s ideology demands it.
As I documented previously, Brown is:
- A Baptist anti-abortion activist with zero health qualifications
- A crusader who voted against safe zones protecting women from clinic harassment
- A zealot who voted against banning conversion therapy targeting LGBTQ+ youth
- An ideologue installed by church networks stacking the National Party
Brown’s worldview is binary:
Public sector = wasteful bureaucracy. Private sector = efficient innovation. His entire political identity is built on shrinking government, outsourcing services, and transferring public resources to private hands.
He ordered Health NZ to give private hospitals 10-year outsourcing contracts. He ignored expert warnings about privatization risks. He “blanked out” concerns because evidence does not change ideology.
So when IT experts said “we need more staff, not fewer,” Brown heard “bureaucrats protecting their jobs.” When they said “cutting 47% will leave systems vulnerable,” Brown heard “resistance to efficiency.” When they warned “patients will die,” Brown calculated that deaths are politically manageable if they’re not immediately attributable to a single decision.
This is neoliberal governance:
Optimize for short-term fiscal metrics. Externalize all long-term risk. Blame failures on “system complexity” rather than political decisions. Rinse. Repeat.
This Is Neoliberal Governance
The Mauri-Depleting Spiral: From Ideology To Catastrophe
Let’s trace the causal chain with clarity:
- Step 1: Government appoints ideologue with zero health experience to run $24B health system
- Step 2: Ideologue orders 47% cut to IT workforce to “find efficiencies”
Step 3: 1,120 IT experts made redundant; $72M spent on contractors for single project - Step 4: 136 IT security upgrade projects cancelled or deferred
Step 5: Health system now operates 6,000 fragmented applications with skeleton IT crew - Step 6: Private vendor (ManageMyHealth) operates with 2008 encryption, no MFA, no CISO
- Step 7: Ransomware group steals 108GB of data, 428,337 files, affecting 126,000 people
- Step 8: Health Minister claims “no clinical impact” and protects private vendor
This is not a series of unfortunate events. This is systemic mauri depletion by design. Each step extracts value (budget savings, contractor fees, ideological satisfaction) while depleting the life force of the system (expertise, security, trust, functionality).
For Māori, this is familiar colonial logic:
Extract resources. Destroy infrastructure. Blame victims. Refuse accountability.
From Ideology To Catastrophe
The Dire Implications: What Comes Next
“The risks are too high to play fast and loose with data systems - it’s a ticking time bomb.“
The bomb exploded. But more bombs remain.
Health NZ still operates 6,000 fragmented applications. It still has a gutted IT workforce. It still has cancelled security upgrade projects. It still has a Health Minister who prioritizes ideology over evidence.
The next breach is not a question of if. It’s a question of when, which system, and how many people.
Will it be:
- Hospital patient management systems (potentially millions affected)?
- Prescription databases (medication fraud, poisoning risks)?
- Mental health records (discrimination, employment impacts)?
- COVID vaccination records (identity theft, insurance fraud)?
- Cancer treatment data (genetic privacy violations)?
Every single one of these systems is now more vulnerable because Simeon Brown cut the experts who maintain, monitor, and secure them.
Fitzsimons called on the Privacy Commissioner to investigate the impact of cuts to Health NZ’s digital services workforce. That investigation must happen. But investigation without accountability is theatre.
What Must Happen: Eight Non-Negotiable Demands
1. Simeon Brown Must Be Removed As Health Minister Immediately
A minister who:
- Cut 47% of IT staff despite warnings
- Cancelled 136 security upgrade projects
- Ignored expert advice repeatedly
- Presided over the largest health data breach in NZ history
- Described it as having “no clinical impact”
...has disqualified himself from holding this portfolio. Resignation or sacking. No third option.
2. Reverse All IT Workforce Cuts And Restore The 1,120 Positions
These were not “back office bureaucrats.” These were the people keeping aging systems alive, monitoring for cyber threats, and maintaining the infrastructure that clinicians depend on. Restore every role. Immediately.
3. Fund And Fast-Track The 136 Cancelled Security Projects
If the government can find billions for tax cuts and roads, it can find the money to secure health data. Fund every deferred cybersecurity project as urgent priority infrastructure.
4. Mandatory Independent Security Audits Of All Health IT Vendors
ManageMyHealth operated with 2008 encryption while managing 1.8 million users’ data. What other private vendors are gambling with our health information? Audit them all. Now.
5. Enshrine Māori Data Sovereignty In Law With Enforcement Mechanisms
This breach demonstrates that private control of health IT is incompatible with tino rangatiratanga. Māori must have legal authority, not just policy guidance, to govern data about our whānau.
6. Ban Politicians With Anti-Rights Voting Records From Health Portfolios
If you voted against protecting women from harassment, against banning conversion therapy, against reproductive rights—you have disqualified yourself from making health policy. Make it law.
7. Establish Public Ownership Of Critical Health IT Infrastructure
ManageMyHealth’s corporate owners spun it out to shed liability. This is reason enough to bring patient-facing health IT under public democratic control. No more private profiteering from public vulnerability.
8. Criminal Investigation Into Negligence
Did Simeon Brown’s decisions—made despite expert warnings, despite historical precedent, despite legal obligations—constitute criminal negligence? The Police and Privacy Commissioner must investigate whether this breach resulted from decisions that meet the threshold for criminal liability.
Eight Non-Negotiable Demands
The False Choice Between Austerity And Security
Simeon Brown will claim these cuts were necessary for “fiscal responsibility.” This is a lie.
The choice was never between cybersecurity and fiscal sustainability. The choice was between:
- Investing in permanent expertise vs. outsourcing to expensive contractors
- Preventing breaches vs. managing breach fallout
- Protecting patient data vs. protecting private vendor profits
- Evidence-based policy vs. ideology-driven destruction
Brown chose wrong. Every time. And 126,000 people are now dealing with the consequences of his choices.
Fitzsimons said hospitals are now using outdated systems but no longer have experts who could understand their weaknesses. This is manufactured vulnerability. This is deliberate system degradation. This is neoliberal sabotage disguised as efficiency.
Whānau, this essay builds on my previous exposé of Simeon Brown’s ideological extremism and incompetence. Together, they reveal a complete picture:
A Health Minister with no health qualifications, installed by church networks, driven by anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ+ ideology, who systematically dismantled our digital health defenses while 126,000 people’s most intimate health data was left unprotected.
This is not governance. This is state-sanctioned negligence. This is theocratic capitalism. This is the theft of our security, one budget cut at a time.
We deserve better. We demand better. And we will not stop until Simeon Brown is removed and our health system is protected.
