Privay Act excuses

The Herald on Sunday editorial rightly lambasts NZ Post for hiding behind the Privacy Act to justify heir refusal to reveal the surname of a sacked staff member who harrassed a customer. By refusing to reveal his surname, she is unable to apply for a protection order against the man.

As the Privacy Commissioner herself states, NZ Post is placing the privacy of a former staff member who broke the law, over the customer whose privacy was appallingly breached by said staffer. Madness.
