Beryl LiveISO ... Is there one out there ?

>From what I understand IANAL (ask a lawyer for legal
advice) is this is a statement more for him than us. A
look at the act
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca191482.txt
 states that this section covers commonwealth officers
and states that it is illegal for them to disclose
sensitive information.

For example if you where a police officer and sent me
someones police record you would be committing a
crime. It would be relevant to the public if I then
having that information and then sending it to a
reporter for example would also make me guilty of
something. Basically it is a federal offense to
disclose national secrets. this is why it says to
delete the message and contact the sender. 

I would suggest it would be a valid legal statement to
attach to the email but it is not for his benefit but
yours. If you had a non disclosure agreement that you
broke and told someone the person you told is not the
person at fault you are for breaking your contract. 

On a side note you have a legal right to your privacy
which includes your bags. From what i understand a
shop can politely request that you allow your bag to
be searched but they cannot carry out the search
themselves. Even if you did have stolen property in
your bag they cannot do anything while you are in the
store because you have not yet committed a crime. what
they can do is call the police and request that the
police search your bag for stolen property.
