Trial to share criminal history info trans-Tasman

By: Alexia Russell | Latest Crime News | Wednesday May 30 2012 13:52

 

New Zealand has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Australia to trial reciprocal sharing of criminal history information.

Justice Minister Judith Collins says it's for employment vetting purposes.

The move comes after a case where a New Zealand man allegedly defrauded Queensland Health of $16 million and didn't reveal past convictions here.

The six month trial is part of a wider programme of work supporting border control and law enforcement, consistent with the free movement of people across the Tasman.
