Is someone who receives stolen property a thief?
Seems it depends on your politics. Blogger Cameron Slater (www.Whaleoil.co.nz ) identified weaknesses in the Labour Party's Web Site prior to the last elect and they dubbed him a thief. Nicky Hager, poster boy of the Hard Left, and author of gutter publication "Dirty Politics", used information and files he knew were stolen from Slater, (provided to him by self confessed hacker, Rawshark). The Supreme Court have subsequently ruled that this constitutes "Property", and the Police, who up until now have been reluctant to act have now taken an interest. Hager is now crying foul because Westpac released information Hager considers private to the Police without a Warrant. Whilst shrilling to all who will listen about this apparent injustice, Hager and his lawyers are fully aware that Westpac has not acted beyond the terms Hager agreed to in opening accounts with them - appears very duplicitous and hypocritical to me. "he who lives by the sword..." Small consolation that "Dirty Politics" is no longer even available in the clearance bin at The Warehouse... " Comments are closed.
