does case law support that?

it's why I pimped your excellent comment yesterday, hoping it could spread further

Who outed Ira to the MSM? Well, I'd put money on it being the MSD regardless of what Paula Bennett says
The Fairfax story says this, for what it's worth - but note that the Minister's office is not the same as MSD:
Bennett said she did not believe the leak came from her office. Prime Minister John Key also ruled out involvement from his staff.
Bennett said Bailey's involvement was not her main issue.
Interesting that *reputation* is how we decide who's telling the truth about this as well.

Perhaps the business did indeed treat this as a low priority, but I would expect any savvy technology partner to be raising their hands and shouting about this to the governance stakeholders, and saying it's not acceptable.
Saying 'we were just following orders' is a cop-out.
It reflects the culture of this government perfectly - a testament to the professionalism of our public servants, ironically. This is where ignoring experts and the public in favour of faith-based 'decisiveness' takes us.

Yet we're happy to pay the costs of reduced confidence and trust, both here and abroad. Reputation means a lot for a trading nation and when we entrust our details to public systems.

The storage mechanism is secondary, either you understand what confidential information is and how to treat it or you don't.

You got curtains on your bedroom window, Damian? You do? Why? What are you trying to hide?
