The internet, man. It's a gateway drug.

WTF? Two paths Bennet can go by? I think her shadow may already be taller than her soul.

There's still time to change the road you're on, though

Yes, particularly when there's an alarming bustling in your hedgerow.

They’re not called WINZ offices now, and it was over 10 years ago when that stopped.
Well I'll be darned, WINZ was an acronym for Work and Income New Zealand and now they just go by the moniker of Work and Income. Seems they are no longer interested in New Zealand. That makes sense now.
;-)
I wonder how much it cost us to change the name to one nobody seems to use?. -

Very droll. but I predict you’ll regret registering under the identity “Stedmund Bacon”. You’ll stick around, get to like the place – and wish you didn’t have an impulse comedy name. Mark my words.

It's quite unlikely that there'd be competing offices from "Work and Income Molvania" or "Work and Income Falkland Islands".
If there were, I'd go to "Work and Income Switzerland", They get 80% of salary for the first year of unemployment. And a car.

So do we now think MSD is an acronym for Ministry of Secure Data? If that catches on they may have to rename it. Again.

Funny I thought it was the Ministry of Shared Data?

Ministry of Social Data

It's a horrible acronym anyway - here's some things it already does stand for:
Mass Storage Device
Male Sexual Dysfunction
Musculoskeletal Disorder
Master Slave Determination
Multiple Site Damage
Minimum Safe Distance
Mean Sac Diameter
Marble Spleen Disease
Moderate to Severe Disabilities
Motor Speech Disorder
Major System Demonstrationand my favorite as most appropriate for the moment
Mississippi School for the Deaf

Dunno. My recollection is that Helen Clark got rid of the WINZ moniker quite early as it was a Jenny Shipley thing that was strongly associated with her and Christine Rankin, with "They WINZ, You Lose" slogans and all.

Dear Keith,
Thanks so much for your work on this. You're awesome. And if you are reading this comment, I implore you to go get some fresh air and get off the computer.
Love, Michalia.

The Press's anoneditorialist weighs in with the Planet Key approach...
Last week's warning, by one of the people originally arrested during the Urewera raids, was admittedly vague and sought payment for further information, but it was treated with a marked lack of urgency. It was only when the matter became public that the ministry was finally, far too late, stirred into action.
I notice they omit to mention that all charges against Ira Bailey were dropped...
but at least they are still outraged...
The inquiries that have started have a lot of work to do - in finding how the vulnerability could have occurred in the first place and why it was not repaired sooner and, if necessary, apportioning responsibility for these failures. They must also ensure that the lackadaisical attitude towards information security is eradicated.
and it seems the writer hasn't been keeping up on modern data storage levels
...access to a ministry server holding megabytes of confidential material...
Quelle horreur!
Megabytes!
more than a floppy!
or two... -

We are all Keith Ngs.
