[LINK] Phishing plumbs new depths for Westpac Customers: XSS

[Adam Todd]

OH MY GOD!  Jan, you have expressed my own expressions for the last 8 years!

The Australian Federal Police don't do anything useful.  They can't even 
stop pirated copies of DVD's not yet released in the markets in Australia 
being sold internally!

I hope the new copyright laws are applied to internal staff before they 
apply them to any member of public.  Because the Government might find a 
Public Crusade established to net the Government staff of crimes!

But you are so right.  Minister palms off to Director General, DG palm off 
the Department Head, Department head says staff followed protocols set down 
by Parliament (which is baloney!) and they hope at this point you will go away.

But be warned, if you telephone a second time or send a letter a second 
time or send an email a second time you are guilty of menacing.

But there are options.  Chip into my public awareness TV funds and help us 
buy airtime to educate the public!  Government hates a self aware population!
