And the security breech (Courts transcription service outsourced to Indian company) gets even bigger… how did they not see this coming? A: Poor or non-existant contract and operations oversight. A typical result from the #Privatisation of what ought to be a publically owned and operated service.

“Earlier this year, embattled transcription company VIQ Solutions breached its Commonwealth contract with the Federal Court by allowing highly sensitive court files to be accessed offshore in India.
