I love this bit
Superintendent Wilson said the Authority wanted to stress the event “was not related in any way to information held securely in its systems” but rather a result of human error.

And whom does he think will administer the system ?

Saw that and posted the link in a different thread. As I said then, “fuck me dead”.

Just when I was starting to feel safe....

( We really need a sarcasm emoji)

Surprise of the century.

This is a super easy fix.

David Seymour if you’re listening.
Please ensure Superintendent Wilson, and any politicians supporting this bill are given new jobs working security.
They can stand guard 24/7 in shift, out front of the exposed FAL holders houses to protect their families from gang related firearm thefts.

To be honest I am surprised they got a whole month in before making a f**k up.

They probably don’t know about the BCC function

It’s worrying as I’ll soon be forced to register due to triggering event

Well slap my ass and call me charlie.....

the smelly stuff is rapidly decending towards the rapidly rotating whirly thing........

Doesn't really matter though does it. The point is that it was leaked, how it happened is irrelevant.

Once again our personal information is now potentionally in the hands of criminals.

I wonder if someone has looked into taking a civil case against them for breach of the privacy act?? I suppose you would stumble with the intent aspect of that.

This has to stop though, its bullshit that it keeps on happeneing and we keep on getting piss weak excuses.

Over it. What a bunch of wallies.

I worked for the govt for nearly two decades. The system is only as good as the lowest common denominator, or, the least competent person in the job or in charge or personally identifying information.

This is especially disappointing given the updated privacy act 2020 AND the potential impactions of the privacy details leaked in a new government entity.
