The Federal Liberal is just as bad...... I heard on the radio this morning that over 500 laptops went missing from the ATO, the Defense Dept, Health and and DFAT. No one knows what was on the disks or if it is readable. Darryl Williams (AG) said that the laptops had a "password encryption" feature.
