Something I will remember this Saturday:

THE ALP has secretly recorded the personal details of tens of thousands of Victorians - including sensitive health and financial information - in a database being accessed by campaign workers ahead of this Saturday's state election...

Voters on the Electrac database contacted by The Age all confirmed they had not given authority for details of their political activity or attitudes, or contact with their MP, to be filed... [some people on the database] are listed as having passed information to their MP about ''corruption in high security prisons''... Political parties and MPs are exempt from privacy laws that restrict record-keeping by others including government departments, the police and local councils.


(The article notes that the Liberals also use a similar system, but the details are unclear.)

In other news, RIP Frank Fenner, who oversaw the WHO's eradication of smallpox.
