Thread: Spies R US(a) and Government health records

Some one looking to make a story into something it is not

The link also had this in it


DSD offered to share bulk, unselected, unminimised metadata – although there were specific caveats. The note taker at the meeting writes: “However, if a ‘pattern of life’ search detects an Australian then there would be a need to contact DSD and ask them to obtain a ministerial warrant to continue.”


so no warrantless information gathering (of Australian citizens)whats the problem

Yes I think the Guardian will get a harder time in UK than here. Such things as the Official secrets Act and D notices may see them in hot water.

What a world we have when "Whistle Blowers" can undermnine their own countries by using willing dupes who make profit from it. they seem usually quite strange . I wonder if Stockton will end up like Lee Harvey Oswald longing to return to the USA.

Murder in Iraq is one thing and I for one think Assange acted pretty responsibly while the newspapers went for it, yet seemed to have no sanctions.The same newspapers who then bugged politicians and "stars".

And the irony is that I will bet the ABC don't escape without something drastic for their "bad judgment" in corunning the Guardian story.

Ah well they have whipped up some conspiracy theorists into a right lather of indignation.
