<div dir="ltr"><div class="markdown-here-wrapper" style><p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Anyone remember how, a few years ago, every self-respecting Brit politician and senior public servant was leaving their briefcase/notebook/CDs on a train.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">This trailer to the Fairfax story on Brandis today speaks likewise about these pricks who demand endless accountability but expect to be above it themselves in their own little world of opaque non-accountability:</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important"><em>Moraitis said he “travelled to three countries in two weeks and I have lost those notes, losing my briefcase by mistake”. Ironically, he is also the public servant who oversees Australia’s information security laws as well as the management of government records.</em></p>
