Humans are perhaps the strangest of animals and often do not see what other creatures do.
The reading and dissemination, of private information, in the House of Assembly has simply been chalked up to Parliamentary Privilege. That is as it may be, but I don’t think that this information fell out of the ceiling of the House of Assembly, and I don’t see any computers on either side for hacking into any data, so we must assume that notwithstanding the “Parliamentary Privilege” allowing disclosure, a very real crime has likely been committed elsewhere, and the proceeds have obviously been passed on to certain people.
I would hope that the Data Protection Commissioner is vigorously investigating this aspect of the crime, and will engage the RBPF where necessary, or ask Minister Mitchell for a work permit to bring in a foreign forensic investigator. As a country we cannot allow such things to happen and subsequently not be investigated, and any breach of the law discovered must be punished.
