Hard News: Privacy and the Public Interest, in reply to Joe Wylie,
Never come across them until now. While I persevered through Ugly Truth’s link, its self-aggrandisingly beady-eyed tone mainly served to remind just how good a presenter of complex information Hager can be.
Well put. I looked at LF and decided didn't want to extend it the authority of linking to it.

Having trouble with my remote machine, the one up North. Traffic bursts around midnight lasting through the night then stopping around 7.My guess is a bot kicking in and who knows how widespread

Great captures! And admirably quick on the upload :-)
There were so many real cameras I didn’t get my phone out much, but here’s Arthur Ahbez rockin’ it like 1972.

Most of the posts are favourable to Odgers, in a Slateresque fashion.
Yep. Which makes me think it’s probably her trying to distance herself from Whale Oil rather than the other way around.
My sense is that she's taken more heat professionally than the others -- extending to losing her job. That being in Hong Kong, not squeaky-clean New Zealand.
The email that did in Collins is also said to to have been her doing. God knows with these people, really.

Just tweeted by Katie Bradford:
30 health academics have written to the PM asking him to investigate the hackers claims made about Food & Grocery Council's Katherine Rich
They want an inquiry into any potential conflicts of interest between Rich's Food & Grocery role & Health Promotion board role
It's starting.

GREAT result for the media companies. They can use anything they already have, Whaledump is enjoined from further publication.
Whaledump signed off this afternoon: all information now with reporters, all devices used destroyed, end of story. The guy has had a few wobbles, but that's quite an exit.
