National admits data leak

Quote:
Under-fire National MP Hamish Walker has admitted to passing on the private details of Covid-19 patients to media, which were leaked to him by former party president Michelle Boag.
Of course, this is completely out of character for National. They're not a bunch of cynical cunts at all. AMIRITE guys? All critiques on National are Key delusion syndrome or whatever it was called.

Nope, cunty all right. Anyone in the National Party who came near this should be sacked immediately.

I still ask though - how did the private information get in their cunty hands in the first place?

Former National Party president Michelle Boag said in a statement on Tuesday that she had passed the information to Walker, which she had received in her role as the acting chief executive of the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust.

And why was this information sent to the personal email address of the acting chief executive of the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust, and who did so?

Safe electorates in the south are a fucking pox on democracy and if Todd Barclay, Clare Curran and David Clark aren't proof enough of that, I give you Hamish Walker

That's something I would look to appropriate authorities to consider. I don't know anything about who needs notification of what, when and how within our healthcare system.

Neither do I, but it doesn't seem to me like the AHRT is part of that system.

If it is problematic, the acting chief executive certainly isn't saying so! But then again, there's a question hanging over their ability to be responsible, so I suppose we're still in the dark.

Muller must be SPEWING. This is an election-losing cockup, and once more it's that fucking waste of space Boag and once more it's another muppet from Clutha-Southland. National needs to clean house.

From a few days ago
Quote:
Todd Muller said the breach was "quite staggering, it talks to a government that's slipping off the side of a cliff, in terms of managing this issue, the border, the informaton pertaining to it".

"If they can't manage personal information, bluntly, they can't manage the border and they can't manage the country."

"Is it a deliberate leak or is it accidental? It doesn't really matter at a level ... it's loose, it's shabby and it's a reminder these guys can't manage important things well," he said.

"These guys need to step aside and let a competent government take over."

So looking in hindsight, that comment by Muller makes it look like he knew it was from walker.
Already trying to deflect it back to the Labour Party.

I think you give him too much credit. I think Muller thought he had evidence of Labour data incompetence and he was rubbing his hands with glee at the thought of smashing them with it.

If we were to give Labour too much credit, we might wonder if it wasn't bait in the first place. Maybe there is some concern with AHRT being sent the info, but Labour had some tepid excuse in their pocket in the unlikely scenario Boag did the right thing, counting on her to try something more underhanded, confident in their audit trail.

But maybe I'm watching too much Naruto.

What I want to know is how did Boag find herself in that position of responsibility? Was there remuneration involved? What other decisions has she been responsible for in that role that may be as questionable as her recent decisions?

But that's not the kind of thing we look at closely. There's a long standing narrative in New Zealand about how National is the party you turn to for competency, notwithstanding a stark lack of evidence to support this.

Serious Fraud Office to investigate 2017 Labour Party donations

National would have never let the SFO get so carried away.

It's not a National Party thing. For an ostensibly egalitarian society, NZ has a peculiar "management elite" stratum, the members of which just shuffle places on corporate boards and charity management teams and arts-and-culture committees and local government councils. Boag is a perfect example.

I'd believe it. I may have shared this before, but once in a discussion with an executive recruiter I asked what kind of qualifications they look for in an executive. They explained qualifications weren't important, they looked to see if they had been an executive before. Which stumped me at the time.

Labour is so hip and progressive I totally trust them to restrict what people can and can't say

That level of content filtering is an attempt to solve a problem without addressing the cause, because doing that would fuck up a whole bunch of things and upset a whole lot of people not used to being upset. You know, like our lives being dominated by business and political interests.

I wonder what the Greens make of it.
