EDITOR'S NOTE

Greetings,

A big welcome to Peter Lawrence, Defence's CIO in waiting.

We also look into an embarrassing data breach at New Zealand's Ministry of Social Development. A blogger was able to access highly sensitive information from welfare agency kiosks.

With the Government's Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook statement (MYEFO) tipped for Monday next week, ICT savings and slow downs in procurement and recruitment are on the Federal agenda. Stay tuned.

-- John Hilvert
