"(2) I’m scared of Russell. Very, very scared."
He has Powers. It's the knowledge, bro.

"Police spokesman Ross Henderson said police had believed that there had been intentional interception and disclosure of private communications"
Oh, the irony.

Hard News: The Real Threat, in reply to Amanda Wreckonwith,
Still wondering if it would work.
Basically, no. They have all the other information to match with, which cuts past the noise.

The latest NSA from The Gaurdian
I assume the New Zealand server is misplaced a little, unless it really is in Queenstown. -

Hard News: The Real Threat, in reply to nzlemming,
I can’t see why a journalist – any journalist – would use Parliament’s phone system rather than his/her own cellphone
I wasn't really following it, but on the radio news this morning, someone from the parliamentary press gallery said something like "having to use a Parliamentary Services supplied phone they pay rental on" and from the context it sounded like they were talking about a cellphone.
I am deeply curious about what the actual communications relationships are.

In my non-lawyery understanding, if it is a fresh policy exempting Australia, then China is exempted. If Australia is exempted due to CER then China is (maybe) not exempted. If the reason Australia happens to be exempt is that it meets a class distinction of reciprocal arrangement (rather than Australia being named per se), then I dunno what effect that would have.
But most people are really not sure. You think it is a minefield now, wait until the TPP. -
Sacha, I am not an international trade lawyer (or any form of lawyer) but as I understand it, the comment centres around what clause 139 of the China FTA actually means:
"3. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the Parties reserve the right to adopt or maintain any measure that accords differential treatment to third countries under any free trade agreement or multilateral international agreement in force or signed prior to the date of entry into force of this Agreement."
With the argument that Australia getting preferential treatment under CER precedes the China FTA. -
I agree with Martin 's observation that https isn't s, not so much because of the other end of the cloud, but because the security of the system depends on the independence of the root certificate authorities.

I do feel the need to point out that the Centre for Housing Research (CHRANZ) was closed down in 2011 after being unable to secure any more funding from the National led government (nor were any commercial groups interested in funding it). Had they or been shut down, they would have been the people to answer the question.
