I AM...
Perhaps it would help if we were all Rawshark... -
The Great Game continues...
First create or inflate a perceived problem,
next devise or trigger an event or crisis,
then implement the 'Draconian Solution'
- which is what was wanted all along -
We just have to be prepped to want it, first... -
The Holo Men?
Just a reminder of how the last police enquiry into stolen emails went...The investigation saw police interview Parliamentary computer staff, Parliamentary Security staff, cleaners, members of Dr Brash's staff, Politicians, journalists and friends of Dr Brash.
"Many of them had their own theories on who was responsible and why the thefts had occurred," said Detective Inspector Quinn. "But in the end no firm evidence pointing to a potential perpetrator was uncovered. The file is closed until someone comes forward with some compelling evidence."
Detective Inspector Quinn said that the investigation uncovered several anomalies with the current computer crimes law and the investigation file would be referred to Police Legal advisers to examine ways in which those loopholes might be overcome.What have they changed since 2008, the Search and Surveillance Act?

The Press has a page 3 piece
"Police explain Hager Raid"
- can't find it on-line yetPolice have defended the 10 hours it took to search author Nicky Hager's home, saying it was because they respected his claim to journalistic privilege.
...This necessitated a process where all items had to be catalogued, secured, sealed and countersigned by both police and Mr Hager's lawyer prior to being removed from the address. The exhibits were delivered into the custody of the Auckland High Court pending determination of the privilege claim.Here's hoping the AHC has an office and evidence room in Wellington, or are they just adding the tyranny of distance on top of the 'filibustered' search process...
- it all smacks of dumb insolence, to me, concern-troll coppers.They must have a court case mapped out if all they are taking is already classified as 'Exhibits' without knowing the digital contents as 'evidence' how can that be?

John Key Forex Trader PM
There was me thinking he was in some kind of 'David-Hockney look-alike' competition...

Tuesday afternoon's Panel on RNZ with Dita de Boni and Penny Ashton was a blow for sanity - Jim Mora seemed to be on the back foot a bit as they roundly lambasted the Hager house raid and much, much more - I hope they are allowed back!
I also note half the letters to the Editor in The Press today are about the atrocious 'interview styles' of the tri-hard-umvirate of Wilson, Ferguson and Espiner ...
- I'm guessing if the RNZ Head's job was to get rid of their older listeners, he is doing well. -
Hard News: Doing over the witness, in reply to Marc C,
Now we have the NZ government about to announce that they will send soldiers to Iraq, to support allies in the fight against IS.
So wrong...
NZ needs to be the voice of reason
and the face of acceptance,
the arms of support,
not just another
combatant.Isn't that what we'd want to bring
to the UN Security Council table?Otherwise, just what is our point of difference?

Hard News: Doing over the witness, in reply to Dylan Reeve,
matter, the facts of...
So what has that to do with Hager?
He likely has material evidence of the crime.Que?
That he had access to the source of the content of his book is not in dispute.
So you can't mean that sort of 'material'.To my way of thinking, the crime was an (alleged) unauthorised access of a private computer by a second (and unknown) party, the crime is a cyber crime and exists in cyber space - what 'material' evidence of that invasive act would exist in Hager's computers or devices?
Applying that procedural logic, Slater's computers should also be of interest to them - just to be forensically thorough - and I'm sure he'd be happy for them to explore all avenues, in the interests of the best resolution for a healthy democracy...
...otherwise why bother?
