[LINK] A question of privacy

[David Boxall]

I hope Link might be able to help me here; my head is spinning.

I'm involved with a group that's objecting to a development proposal. 
Along the way, someone has leaked to the developer, details of email 
correspondence between members. Among the details leaked are the 
identities and email addresses of members (possibly more, but that's 
what's certain).

The developer says that the leaked information came to them via a gmail 
address, evidently created for the purpose. The most likely suspect is 
an elected member of Council.

Has privacy legislation been violated (the location is in NSW, if that 
matters)?

If so, is the developer bound by that legislation?

What, if anything, can (and/or should) be done?
