Yesterday I was interviewed by
ABC TV and
The Australian, on the Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull's use of non-government email services. Verisons of this also appeared in the
International Business Times,
CelebCafe, . I said this was okay, as it was not used for unclassified non-sensitive information and the usual record-keeping was done. I was surprised this caused so much fuss in the media (more of a ripple in a tea cup than a storm) and I suggested the
overloading of the NBN Interim Satellite Service was a more important issue.
It is probably just a coincidence, but last week there were media reports asking if it was okay for the Australian Prime Minister to use commercial email systems and this week his department is advertising Cyber Security Jobs: http://dpmc.nga.net.au/cp/index.cfm?event=jobs.checkJobDetailsNewApplication&returnToEvent=jobs.listJobs&jobid=54123BE5-AAD8-C578-51CA-8941E573B427&CurATC=EXT&CurBID=3624B1ED-C197-4DE2-8743-9DB401362E6B&JobListID=22FC4F47-E994-46A3-B8C9-9BC901269F43&jobsListKey=cf366d4f-f51c-4550-a941-46d5111c44a1&persistVariables=CurATC,CurBID,JobListID,jobsListKey,JobID&lid=44078090046
