Yes, the matter involving the CBA is what happens. The CBA was lucky to avoid legal action because the incident happened before the current law came into effect in February 2018. However, the bank should have been aware that the law had been passed and that it was coming into effect. While it did not have a legal responsibility to act, one could argue that it had a moral duty to act. However, the combination of "financial institution" and "moral duty" is an oxymoron.

Yes, the most common entry point for malware is via employees' email accounts. A low-cost defence a company can employ is to educate staff on the dangers of opening suspicious emails. If an email does not relate directly to an employee's job, then it should be deleted. That means no opening of emails with "spam" titles, and no forwarding on jokes, funny pictures etc.

Attempts to gain entry to a company's database often begin with a phishing attack. https://www.incapsula.com/web-application-security/phishing-attack-scam.html

For once I am being fair dinkum with you and not joking, so please heed what I say.

I have been asked to alert anyone I know who has a business with an ABN, and the business holds personal identification details of any person on an electronic device that has a connection to the Internet of the Notifiable Data Breach Scheme.

Be aware that from February 2018, the Notifiable Data Breach Scheme came into effect. This scheme requires a business to notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if there is evidence of an unauthorised access; disclosure, or loss of personal information as a result of a breach of the business' cyber security. Penalties for non-compliance with the NDB Scheme carry very high fines - in the hundreds of thousands for individuals, and millions for organization.

My source has asked me to encourage all of you to bring this matter to the attention of business owners whose businesses hold the personal data (identification or financial) of any person.

Business owners should contact an qualified IT professional to review the business' cyber security.

My source is in the process of preparing a document which will provide and introduction to the NDBS. I hope to be able to provide it to anyone interested in a few days.

Thanks for you time.

Using the same criteria for reporting the 'occasional' incidents involving, I wonder how the MSM would report this automotive incident?

saw this on my travels today, question is how????

The family resemblance is clear.

She's so stunned by the male chauvinism displayed by the thought behind the gift that she can't think of a thing to say.

Ahh! Women in aviation!

Poor taste again!

This bloke sounds like he is accident-prone.

Answering a question no one asked is the problem.

What ever happened to this British wonder, I wonder?

Always trust your instruments!

From the announcer's commentary it seems that landing on the grass was approved.

Who was the idiot who parked the machine where it was? Or the airport safety officer who did not report its being there?

The Frogs might have sold the Exocets, but who supplied the money for them? Would you believe that the money was siphoned out of the Vatican Bank?

The mastermind was one Roberto Calvi. "In 1980, Banco Ambrosiano de America del Sud opened its doors in Buenos Aires. There was practically no banking activity but it was this arm of the Calvi empire which helped finance Argentinian purchases of Exocet missiles." { From 'In God's Name", Page 285. David A Yallop ISBN 0-224-02089-7} In God's Name - Wikipedia

The book's main premise is that Pope John Paul the First was murdered by a consortium whose members were using the Vatican Bank for a myriad of fraudulent banking activities. The Pope became aware of this and was going to use his power as OIC of the Church to make some radical changes of occupation for those handling the purse strings. To do so would have exposed the fraud racket. The Pope was going to expose churchmen who were known to be Masons. At that time a Catholic would be excommunicated for joining the Masons.

After the death of Pope John Paul the First, investigations into the fraud in the Vatican, Italy, many European counties and both North and South America lead to extortion and murder involving Masons and the Mafia.

I think therefore that in almost every case where there is a death in a motor vehicle crash involving 2 or more vehicles, one of the parties is generally grossly negligent and should be charged with Manslaughter. This does happen but not as often as it should. Perhaps it is because car crashes are acceptable in the public eye and aircraft crashes are not.

This link, Dangerous driving and navigation explains the current law in NSW (and probably similar elsewhere), and the sentencing guidelines.

What's going on with WAC charts? is about what is happening in the USA. No doubt with FAA approval. The FAA reasons that digital advances in technology and navigational capabilities are making these printed charts obsolete as pilots shift their attention more toward digital products. If CASA follows the FAA, then WAC charts for Australia might not be printed anymore.

Since WAC charts are updated every four years, then it seems a good idea to check NOTAMs etc before each flight to ensure that information on the WAC chart you intend to use has not changed.

According to this, What's going on with WAC charts? | Sporty's Pilot Report Articles - from Sporty's Pilot Shop , WAC charts are not going to be printed from 2017. However there is this:

Non expiring standard navigation chart. These Australian charts are part of the ICAO 1:1,000,000 international series. Designed for pre-flight planning as well as pilotage, these charts are constructed using Lambert's conformal conic projection and conform to ICAO specifications. These charts are updated every four years. (Source: World Aeronautical Charts (WAC) )

Some people do waffle on.

PS:- Being a Quasi Aussie you should know that "Bastard" only has one "R".

Does one have to pancake on landing?

Just as well you took the action you did! There shouldn't be a legal case to answer here as there is no proof that you even touched the controls. No proof that you even went IMC, your words against his. For a legal case to be strong it needs to have proof, end of story.

Just because you don't have a current licence, doesn't mean that you don't have the prior experience to act in what was an emergency situation. Throw your logbook at them. Also, you have the right to prevent the further commission of an offence, or what you "reasonably" thought to be an offence (unqualified flight into IMC). Finally, you have the right of self-defence.

Involuntary Manslaughter

Involuntary manslaughter is the unlawful killing of another human being without intent. The absence of the intent element is the essential difference between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. Also in most states, involuntary manslaughter does not result from a heat of passion, but from

a) an improper use of reasonable care or skill while in the commission of a lawful act, or

b) while in the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to a felony.

Therefore, a person could be guilty of involuntary manslaughter as a result of a failing to apply all the relevant skills of a function for which they have been trained, e.g. leaving a split pin off an axle nut resulting in a landing gear wheel falling off and the result is an impact on landing resulting in a fatality.

A person could be guilty of involuntary manslaughter by doing something criminally trivial, e.g failing to secure a load of firewood on a truck, and a piece falls off, striking a motorcyclist who crashes and dies. (Lost a great mentor that way).

In New South Wales, the terms 'felony' and 'misdemeanor', which are Common Law distinctions, have been replaced by Statute Law definitions:

Felony is now "Serious indictable offence" means an indictable offence that is punishable by imprisonment for life or for a term of 5 years or more.

Misdemeanor is now "Minor indictable offence" means an indictable offence that is not a serious indictable offence.

An indictable offence is an offence that carries the right to trial by jury. A jury trial is commenced by the presentation of an indictment, which outlines the charge arising from the alleged actions of the defendant. An indictment is produced after a magistrate sitting at a Committal Hearing has heard both Crown evidence and Defence rebuttal and the magistrate decides whether or not there a reasonable prospect that a reasonable jury, properly instructed, would convict the accused person of an indictable offence.

The average citizen would only ever appear in Court to deal with a Summary offence. These offences are usually dealt with by way of fine or terms of imprisonment less than 12 months.
