Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:38am
no wonder they are doing soc med stuff...they are broke]
the privacy act breaches in the collation of the emails is massive
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:38am
I'm sure Chaos and Mayhem ltd will find a way to use all this left wing online data
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:38am
got First name, Last Name and email
in 3 files
main labour mail list
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:39am

Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:39am

-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:39am
I wouldn't wreck what might potentially be your greatest story
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:40am
this will be massive
just have to be careful to cover accusations of hacking
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:40am
NBut wouldn't mind a wee wink and nod one day in appreciation
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:40am

-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:40am
It's all open
open door.
you've made my night
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:41am
yep...but i need to make sure when the story drops that i cover all that off so it makes labour explain...they will lie then i hit them again
they lie again and i hit them again
i'm working all the possible defences out and going to pre-empt them
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:42am
hacking, they might try and accuse you of holding credit card data illgeally.
possibly abuse of spam or privacy laws.
maybe you post all the info for everyone to see on your Wikileaks site
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:42am
yep...got all those...i won't publish any files
hmmm...maybe i do
a kiwileaks
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:43am
Wikileaks.... of course.
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:43am
that domain is taken
but hey
publish their database files
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:43am
so everyone knows you have evrything.
Drip feed the files slowly onto an anon server
Point the media there.
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:44am
or just upload everything to an anon server...and then drop the bomb and set them off
sniffing
the media are far oo lazy to do what i have already done...so prob best to package it into bite size pieces.
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:45am
I think slowly torturing them is better.
agree. Link to the file. Provide the precis so the media know what to look for, bingo
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:45am
this is going to bite big time
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:46am
what did you think when you found all this info?
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:46am
force labour to answer hard questions about data privacy
force them to audit, review and perhaps even change their systems
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:46am
At the very least, Labour's IT person will have to resign in disgrace. Arguably the Chief of Staff too.
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:46am
i thought I couldn't believe they would be so stupid...its what National would ahve done
possibly their campaign manager...who is busy trying to beat me in a cycle race
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:47am
yes, thats been fun to read
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:47am
he is a fool
he is still on crutches
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:48am
probably knows the campaign is lost, and is simply looking for fun or a distraction
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:48am
i rode 12km straight off having never ridden a boke in 22 years
bike
on tuesday i'll start rifding 20km a day for a week
then 30km a day for a week
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:49am
you were looking pretty cut in your photo clutching a bike. You have gained some serious silhouette
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:49am
then 40km a day for a week
i'm hunting at the moment so getting some good core traing done...walking and running rough ground works wonders on the midriff...and holding a6kg gun all day in front of you certainly works the upper body
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:50am
I expect Epsom to open up shortly. The board will 99% be likely to tick off this comings Weds.
opens up a few days after
-------------------------
Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:51am
that's if Peter isn't baby sitting the fricken dogs
-------------------------
Aaron Bhatnagar, 6/3, 9:51am
lol, so probably all done and dusted by mid July. Maybe by the 20th of July
anyway, chat later, good luck with the website stuff

Cameron Slater, 6/3, 9:56am
