Dunno about that - when Optus was sueing me in the Supreme Court of NSW over
the Optus Internet hack (http://www.newswire.com.au/9911/opthack.htm) I was
talking to the ABC (and all and sundry) - perhaps one of the train crew
thought that by exposing it widely, they would be telling everyone what an
unsafe system it was (in their viewpoint - none of my own comments here)
with a view to getting something done about it?
