AU: VicRoads staff share private data

Posted on January 31, 2010 by pogowasright.org

Peter Mickelburough reports:

The personal details of 3.4 million Victorians continue to be abused by VicRoads staff despite a State Government bid to stamp out licensing fraud.

Seven VicRoads workers have been sacked or resigned for improperly accessing or releasing information from the authority’s database in the past two years.
