John Edwards on protecting Kiwis' privacy - and his new UK gig

After seven years watching over the privacy of New Zealanders, John Edwards is off to do the same for those in the UK. He was first appointed to the role of Privacy Commissioner in 2014 and reappointed in 2019. He finished up just over a week ago, and will head to the UK to start the new year as Information Commissioner. During his time he's been outspoken in the role, and a champion for privacy - as one might expect. But his criticism of Facebook in particular, in the wake of the Christchurch mosque attacks - which were livestreamed by the social media giant - netted him international media attention. Kathryn talks to him about his time in his watchdog role here, and challenges in the next.
