I already apologised for quoting you out of context.<BR/><BR/>Surely I don't need to explain irony to a man with an award-winning website which includes being entertaining as part of its mission statement!<BR/><BR/>Did you look at the link I posted above? If you feel the minister has lied in Hansard I suggest you should make a formal complaint.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, at least you've backed down slightly from your original post, in which you appear to imply that each of the 1,993 incidents in question represented a theft.<BR/><BR/>"By defintion if security has been breached, then there is a weakness that needs to be addressed."<BR/><BR/>I'm not entirely sure where you're coming from here. The minister said that the increase in reported incidents was due to heightened staff awareness. Now you seem to be saying that this increase could reflect an increase in the identification of weaknesses that need to be addressed. Erm. I guess that's probably what you'd hope to see if staff were made more aware of the issue. Surely you don't agree with the minister, Ken!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-57119526302820717502008-09-09T16:29:00.000+01:002008-09-09T16:29:00.000+01:00AnomYou need to read what I said.I did not describ...Anom<BR/><BR/>You need to read what I said.<BR/><BR/>I did not describe staff as "having no "common sense", "wit/brains or practical knowledge".<BR/><BR/>I said that Treasury Minister Jane Kennedy's comments implied that she thought that.<BR/><BR/>wrt your quote:<BR/><BR/>How can a security breach be only a "potential weakness"?<BR/><BR/>By defintion if security has been breached, then there is a weakness that needs to be addressed.Ken Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568488818950912374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-19119711146325276622008-09-09T15:46:00.000+01:002008-09-09T15:46:00.000+01:00No comments on this one, Ken?

Could that be because you invited input from people you'd just described as having no "common sense", "wit/brains or practical knowledge"?<BR/><BR/>Oh! I'm sorry. Did I quote you out of context?
