   ...of some of the negative talk and festering concerns. [52] There is significant substance in those submissions. Documentation made available to the defendants' solicitor by WFA in November 2014, following an information request under the Privacy Act 1993, includes correspondence from Ms Berry going back to 5 November 2012 which is critical of the behaviour and conduct of the defendants.

   ...Fergusson Lockwood report; and the measures they took in terms of storage of the report and oral directions to Ms Hodgson for its confidentiality proved to be quite inadequate. On the other hand, there was a practice for staff at the agency to accord privacy to items in Mr Lissington’s desk drawers; Ms Hodgson knew that; Ms Hodgson was well aware of her duty of confidentiality to the appellants, her employer, and the vendors; and we can understand the licensees relying on her integrity...

   ...information must be confidential personal information. The prosecution submits that the text message and commission statement are personal information; and that personal information has predominantly been given a wide interpretation in cases involving the Privacy Act 1993, and what constitutes personal information is often context dependent.
