Government Leaking like seive
The leader of the New Zealand National Party leader Don Brash has got an interim injunction stopping the publication of leaked emails he believes were stolen from his computer.
The interim injunction granted in the High Court at Wellington yesterday and names as first and second defendants "John and Jane Doe".
Dr Brash said the interim injunction stopped publication by any means - website, publication or broadcast - or distribution of copies of the emails.
How laughable is that? A very highly ranked government officer has emails stolen? Arent we talking about the Beehive? The center of government? Where one would expect security to be of the utmost importance and efficiency...
As well one would expect that the audit and tracking facilities would be of a robust nature and easily reveal the path these "stolen" emails followed.
What if the silly twat had a virus? what if the emails are attached to a virus and happily winging their way all around the world.
Does this mean that every owner of a computer with a virus whose machine spreads these emails further is going to be prosecuted?
One can only wonder as too the content of these emails.. National Security? Salacious gossip? Romantic entanglements? Child porn? Damaging enough to see Dr Brash loose his tenuous leadership?
