Today I discovered one source of the breach of my Privacy – Byron Shire Council.

The price of informing Council of my desire to make a Submission (on Exceloos – 2015) at Council Meeting public access via Council’s dictated method – Council web page, my email address is now available on the internet for everyone on the planet to read and note and abuse.

  1. So rather than reporting this directly to Council to assist them in resolving the problem, you publicise it, thus exacerbating the issue and further jeopardising the privacy of others. Thanks very much for that.

  2. So instead of reporting this straightforwardly to Council to help them in determining the issue, you pitch it, consequently intensifying the issue and further risking the protection of others. Much obliged especially for that.

  3. Great article! I loved the insight and advice given. Further, your blogging style is very fun to read. If you have enough time please explore my brand new blog and let me know what you think.

Youth crime is increasing – what to do?

There is something strange going on with youth crime in rural and regional Australia. Normally, I treat hysterical rising delinquency claims with a pinch of salt – explicable by an increase in police numbers, or a headline-chasing tabloid, or a right-wing politician.
