Congratulations to all nominees and winners for giving up their time to deliver outstanding cricket opportunities to their communities.
Full list of nominees and reasons behind their nominations below.
Female Coach of the Year
WINNER: JENNA FOWLIE (Bacchus Marsh CC)
With over 50% of Bacchus Marsh Cricket Club's numbers returning from last year, there is no doubt that the kids and the parents rate their program. This can largely be attributed to Jenna's impact on the program. This year they started a T20 Blast program that was made up of last year's Milo kids, showing they enjoyed the year before. Bacchus Marsh has been able to start a girls' only night consisting of girls from the Milo program. The helpers from the club turn up every week, which has been a major problem in previous years, but they really enjoy the night and look forward to each Friday. Jenna's enthusiasm and organisation have been the major reason for the growth and success of their program over the last 2 years.
AIMEE MELLFORD (Carrum Downs CC)
Aimee, who is very shy at first, has coached the Under 10s for the past two years and each time the kids are always excited to participate. The kids have grown a lot over the year which is a testament to her attention to detail in her teaching methods. Some even want to repeat training drills! She is also creating a better learning environment for her own cricket, making 160 runs this year. Aimee has also made it to Indoor Cricket Opens in last year's and this year's competitions.
SHELLEY CHARLIE (Caroline Springs CC)
Shelley started at Caroline Springs Cricket Club this year, bringing her daughter to Milo cricket but ended up as the girls' coach. Having never coached, Shelley took all girls on board, and used her playing experience to teach them all she knew and to form a bond between the girls. It all paid off as the girls won the first Molly Strano Cup. Shelley was instrumental in making this happen.
MILO in2CRICKET/T20 Blast Coach of the Year
WINNER: KELLIE TAIT (AAA Milo in2CRICKET Ballarat)
Kellie's biggest achievement is the successful development, launch and delivery of Ballarat's first ever MILO in2CRICKET centre exclusively for children with disability. Previously she knew very little about the sport, so she had to learn every aspect from basic rules through to coaching methods. Kellie has been fantastic at engaging with the community. She has leveraged this engagement to source a centre venue and receive media attention, volunteer assistance and sponsorship. Kellie successfully developed, maintains and regularly updates a social media platform to promote session activity and engage with the participants' parents. She makes frequent contact with all parents of participants to make sure the individual needs of their child are being met. Prior to the program beginning, Kellie called the parents of all registered participants to identify each child's disability. She then planned the program to suit the unique needs of the children.
SHANE HESLINE (Parkdale CC, Hampton T20 Blast, SECA)
Shane is an outstanding servant of local cricket across many areas. He volunteers time to many junior players and mentors them to be better people and players. He was Assistant Coach of the Victorian Under 15 Girls' Team who was National Champions for indoor cricket and runs a very successful T20 blast at Hampton. He also volunteered many hours as a selector and coach for SECA in the VMCU under 14's this year.
CAMERON SMITH (Williamstown CC)
Cameron has single-handedly turned the Williamstown Cricket Club's MiloIn2Cricket and T20 programs from what were flailing programs into vibrant and successful programs. Cameron's preparation and planning is second to none and he provides the best quality of programs in the area. In addition to being the Milo In2Cricket and T20 Blast Coordinator, Cameron also coaches the U/11B Cubs side and is the Junior Coordinator at the club and has reinvigorated the junior program. Cameron could be a very worthy recipient of either MiloIn2Cricket/T20 Blast Coordinator of the Year or Junior Coach of the year.
Junior Coach of the Year
WINNER: SIMON OGILVIE (Golden Point CC)
Simon has shown a commitment to developing the game at junior club level and community level. He has had a clear impact with local schools, clubs and junior players, and shown a willingness and determination to improve their development as a coach. He encourages players' parents, family members and friends to volunteer with game duties, creates a fun and engaging environment and cultivates learning & enthusiasm, and increases junior playing numbers at their club. He also develops weekly training sessions that cater for all individual junior players of whatever skill and ability.
BRENDAN LEWIS (Yarrawonga Mulwala CC)
Brendan took over the coaching of the U16's in the last two seasons after two seasons as an assistant. This season the U16's clinched their fourth premiership in the Wangaratta and District Cricket Association. Brendan has worked closely with the group over the four years, as well as overcoming several personal issues. For a 23-year-old to be giving his time as a volunteer has shown maturity and dedication worthy of nomination for such a prestigious award.
GAVIN MACKAY (Central Highlands U14 Boys)
Gavin has made an outstanding contribution to the Central Highlands region for the past few years. Starting his coaching through Gisborne Cricket Club and Gisborne representative teams, he then moved into the Central Highlands U14 boys' role for the past two years. Whilst an exceptional off-field coach, his greatest asset is his ability to teach life skills and lessons through his coaching. This has seen personal development shown in the players, but also in the parents and coaches assisting him and is truly reflective of the positive impact he has on the people around him. In doing all of this, Gavin is very humble, modest and will struggle to recognise the impact he has on these people by just being a quality person.
Senior Coach of the Year
JULIEN WIENER (Victorian Indigenous Male Team)
In his first year as coach he took the Victorian Indigenous Male Team to the team to its first ever national championship in Alice Springs this year. His preparation for the championships was excellent and his communication was second to none. He showed a real care towards players and knew what would get the best out of each individual. He also went on to coach Japan in the World Cup qualifiers in Bendigo, along with being an Assistant Coach with Melbourne in Victorian Premier Cricket.
DALE McDONALD (Williamstown CC)
Williamstown Cricket Club won the VSDCA championship for the first time with the first three teams finishing on top. The previous three years the First XI finished 10th. Dale prepared specific, intense and varied educative practice which has seen standards at the club lift considerably. The batters achieved quality and volume that has rarely been witnessed elsewhere. Dale is a positive and calm speaker and identifies key areas to improve from games, and implements practices accordingly. He is firm but respected by the players and identifies a clear path to success. The new players were integrated into the club compassionately. He also monitored bowling loads precisely, delegated opportunities and guided the Assistant Coach and coaching team. He identified the importance of consistently working with a mentor and accepted his advice. He is an outstanding tactician and technical role model and managed individual & group work effectively
MATTHEW WARD (Mt Clear CC)
Matt made an outstanding contribution to Mt. Clear Cricket Club in just his second season as senior coach, guiding four out of five senior teams into finals. Organised, innovative, professional, young and enthusiastic are just some ways to describe his approach to coaching. His ability to communicate with players of all abilities and backgrounds, combined with natural leadership qualities, see him highly regarded, not just as an asset to Mt. Clear Cricket Club, but to cricket development in the community where Matt is also senior coach of Ballarat Grammar School.
WINNER: MARK WEBB (Seddon CC)
Mark took on the voluntary role as senior playing coach of Seddon Cricket Club at the start of last season. He was previously the captain of the Seddon 1st X1. Mark demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities by delegating responsibilities to a number of assistants within the club and, in turn, leading the 1st X1 to the VTCA North West premiership. Throughout the season the club encountered a number of challenges. During this time Mark galvanised the playing group to keep focussing on the task of making finals and eventually winning the GF after making a club record 462.

Don't Worry - Be Happy!
Mikeitz (Genesis 41:1-44:17)
by Rabbi Yitzchak Zweig
GOOD MORNING! As we slowly meander towards the end of 2020 – the year that wasn't – there is genuine hope that we will soon begin to see the light at the end of what has been a very dark tunnel.
Experiencing an unprecedented time of national, communal, familial, and personal isolation tends to be difficult on one's psyche and trying to the spirit. Thus, a key element of the recovery is going to be identifying elements that bring about happiness and restoration of the spirit. This begs the question; how do I achieve happiness and, perhaps most importantly, how do I know know when I am happy?
Once the world begins to return back to normal and we slowly start to reintegrate with others we should carefully examine those relationships. Relationships and interactions with individuals who are innately unhappy can drain one's own life force, so we carefully have to gauge the toll these relationships take on ourselves.
Though, of course, we should always be there to support our friends and families through tough times and feelings of depression and despair. This reminds me of the following story.
One time a friend from the northeast drove down to visit me in South Florida. After a nice week together he drove back to his home in New York. When he got back he called to tell me that he had achieved something unique. Most people driving from Florida to New York see 10 different states (FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, MD, DE, PA, NJ, and NY), but he actually experienced 11 different states. When I asked him how he managed that, he told me that he was in a "state" of crippling depression.
I told him you can't count New York twice.
This week's Torah reading gives us a remarkable insight into life and a fail safe tool for knowing if you are a happy person, as well as how to identify others who are happy as well. First a little background:
Joseph, having being sold into slavery by his older brothers, suffers even further when he is falsely accused of attacking the wife of his master, which leads to an extended jail sentence for him.
During his incarceration he comes across two of Pharaoh's officers: the wine steward and the baker. Both the baker and the wine steward have enigmatic dreams. Joseph interprets both of their dreams as predictors of future events and, sure enough, events unfold exactly in the manner that Joseph predicted.
This week's Torah portion opens with Pharaoh himself experiencing two very vivid dreams. In the first, he is standing near the Nile when he sees seven nice looking, healthy cows emerge from the Nile and graze in the marsh grass. Suddenly, another seven cows, ugly and gaunt, emerge from the Nile and eat the healthy and nice looking cows.
He falls asleep again and has a second dream. In this dream he sees seven fat ears of grain growing from a single stalk. Suddenly another seven ears, these being thin and emaciated, grow behind them and swallows up the seven fat ears of grain. He wakes with a start and is very troubled by these dreams.
Joseph is summoned to interpret these dreams and he tells Pharaoh that his country is about to experience seven good years followed by seven years of famine. Just as in the dream, the seven years of famine are going to totally obliterate the seven "good" years.
The great medieval commentator known as Rashi makes an extraordinary comment on this verse; "these (the seven nice looking cows) represent the seven years of satiety whereupon all creations look kindly at one another, no one begrudging anyone else."
Rashi seems to be changing the very meaning of the verse. Instead of translating "nice looking cows" as handsome cows, which is the literal translation, Rashi explains that it means they look kindly at one another.
Equally perplexing, it is commonly understood that Pharaoh's dreams represented that there were going to be seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. Yet Rashi translates the "good years" as years of satiety not years of plenty or years abundance. In interpreting the Torah, Rashi always strives for the simplest and most direct approach, why does he translate these words in such a novel way?
Rashi characterizes the "good" years as years of satiety and not years of abundance for a very simple reason: having an abundance doesn't mean that one is happy or even satisfied. In other words, abundance and famine aren't really antonyms as having a lot doesn't necessarily mean you have enough. Having enough is usually a matter of perspective as we see in Ethics of our Fathers (4:1) "Ben Zoma says – who is a wealthy man? He who his happy with his lot."
Unfortunately, today many people suffer from an insidious disease known as "Affluenza" – the endless drive to ever acquire more, and it is extremely contagious, infecting everyone around them. This disease is spread by our culture and social media. Regrettably, without the recognition that having more will do very little to make them happier, many people, sadly, sacrifice their lives to this empty pursuit.
Real happiness is achieved from obtaining personal satisfaction within oneself. For this reason, the message sent by the Almighty to Pharaoh is that the seven "good" years will be years of satiation; everyone will appreciate what they have and it will therefore be enough.
But this is a difficult standard to achieve. In fact, many people don't even know if they are satisfied let alone happy with what they have. Therefore, Rashi imparts a brilliant insight and a lasting life lesson for knowing if you're a happy person.
As we have said, the years of abundance weren't measured in quantity but rather in perspective. If you want to know if you're really happy, closely examine your reaction when you see other people obtain successes. Are you happy for them or are you a little bitter?
When your neighbor gets a new car and you need one as well, are you happy for him or do you begrudge him a little? If your childhood friend suddenly becomes wealthy and buys a beautiful home and takes stunning vacations, are you genuinely happy for her or are you a little bitter? How about if your cousin's child gets accepted to Harvard while your child is struggling to gain entrance to a local university? Are you happy for them or are you a little bitter?
If the latter, then you aren't happy or satisfied with your own life. This is why Rashi translates the verse not as "handsome" cows, but rather that they looked kindly at one another. They represented years of satiety because they looked at each other in a kindly manner. That happiness for another's success is the key indicator that you are satisfied with yourself.
To sum it all up, I believe there are three key elements that everyone can incorporate into their lives that will lead to a lasting happiness. 1) Doing kindnesses for others – focusing on what others need and seeing that they get it gives a person an enormous sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.
(As a rule "givers" are always happier than "takers" for a very simple reason: they are in absolute control of their environment – they control the interaction because they are initiating it. By contrast, a taker is always frustrated; for he is constantly waiting for the largesse of another.)
2) Focus on being appreciative of what you have. Internalizing a genuine thankfulness to the Almighty for everything with which you have been blessed will lead you to satisfaction – and you will instantly be transformed to that "wealthy" person, as Ben Zoma stated in Ethics of Our Fathers.
3) Live and be absolutely present in the moment. This is sometimes called mindfulness. Whatever you are doing should be your sole focus at the time. If you are talking to loved ones don't glance at the television or newspaper. If you are eating, don't answer emails at the same time. Savor your food, appreciate the opportunity to have it, and the ability to taste it. Truly drink in all the beauty in your life – it might be a stunning sunrise, a quiet walk in the woods, an inspirational book, or a meaningful conversation with a friend or loved one. Enjoy your life! We only get one shot at it.
Mikeitz, Genesis 41:1 - 44:17
Pharaoh dreams of cows and sheaves and demands for someone to interpret his dreams. The wine butler remembers Joseph's ability to interpret dreams. They bring Joseph from the jail. Pharaoh acknowledges the truth of Joseph's interpretation (that there would be seven good years followed by seven years of famine) and raises Joseph to second-in-command of the whole country with the mandate to prepare for the famine.
Ten of Joseph's brothers come to Egypt to buy food; Joseph recognizes them, but they don't recognize him. Joseph accuses them of being spies and puts them through a series of machinations in order to get them to bring his brother Benjamin to Egypt. Then Joseph frames Benjamin for stealing his special wine goblet.

SCREEN-L February 1998, Week 3
Robert Wise WWW Site
Dan Harries <[log in to unmask]>
We figured you might be interested in the following information regarding
the AFI's launch of a site devoted to director, Robert Wise.
The American Film Institute (AFI) has launched the first Internet site
dedicated to Robert Wise, the four-time Oscar winning director and producer
of THE SOUND OF MUSIC and WEST SIDE STORY, in honor of his receiving the
prestigious 26th AFI Life Achievement Award. Wise, whose career spans six
decades and more than 50 films, will receive the AFI honor at a gala
tribute this Thursday, February 19th.
The new web site, titled "Robert Wise: American Filmmaker," is located at
<www.afionline.org/wise>.
The site is a decade-by-decade walk through of his career, focusing mainly
on his work as a director (Wise also produced many of his films and was
nominated for an Oscar in 1941 for his editing on CITIZEN KANE). In
addition to a synopsis and video clip from each film, the site includes a
collection of never-before-seen photos, audio clips, cast lists, technical
details, storyboards, interviews with Wise, quotes and anecdotes about each
film, promotional movie posters and photos of various props. AFI worked
directly with Wise on the construction of this site and used its own
extensive archival materials.
In addition, AFI will present live web coverage of events from the tribute
beginning at 5 p.m. (PST) that evening, including celebrity arrivals, the
pre-event press conference and scenes from the award show and after-party.
Online fans will also be able to send a message to Wise and share opinions
and memories of his work. The live coverage of the AFI tribute will be
located at <www.afionline.org/wise/live>.
AFI OnLine has selected specific individuals and Web sites to receive
relevant information about our site. Reviews of and links to AFI OnLine
<www.afionline.org> are encouraged. If you feel you received this
information in error, or if you seek further information regarding this site,
please send an e-mail to <[log in to unmask]>. Thanks!
Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the

St. John's is a beautiful setting for a wedding. We normally reserve the church for weddings of people who already have a connection to St. John's, for example people actively attending St. John's, or people who used to be members of St. John's but have moved away.
When one of the priests at St. John's agrees to officiate at a wedding, the priest schedules with the couple several sessions to help prepare them not just for the wedding but for married life. Normally, clergy make use of "Prepare/Enrich", a diagnostic tool that has proven to be an effective resource in guiding people through pre-marital preparation.
It's important to contact the church well in advance of the wedding. St. John's has policies governing a variety of aspects of church weddings, and we also follow diocesan policies in cases of remarriage.
To discuss the possibility of a wedding at St. John's, please contact the church office - 918.742.7381.


In my last post I wrote about how DevOps' emphasis on frequent release cycles leads to the need for more troubleshooting in production, and that developers are being frequently being drawn into that process. Troubleshooting applications in production isn't always easy: For developers, the first course of action is to drop down to terminal, ssh into the environment (assuming you have access) and begin tailing log files to determine the current state. When the problem isn't immediately obvious, they might tail -f the logs to a file, then grep for specific patterns. But there's no easy way to search log tails in real time. Until now.
Pause the log stream, scroll up to previous messages, then jump to the latest log line and resume the stream.
Create keywords that will then be used to highlight occurrences within the log stream.
Live Tail is immediately available from with the Sumo Logic environment, and coming soon is a command line interface (CLI) that will allow developers to launch live tail directly from the command line.
What Can I Do With Live Tail?
You can now troubleshoot without having to log into business critical applications. Users also can harness the power of Sumo Logic by being able to launch Search in the context of Live Tail and vice versa. There is simply no need to go between different tools to get the data you need.
As I mentioned, troubleshooting applications in production with tail-f isn't always easy. First, you need to gain access to production log files. For someone managing sensitive data, admins may be reluctant to grant that access. Live Tail allows you to view your most recent logs in real time, analyze them in context, copy and share every time via secure email when there's an outage, and set up searches based on live tail results using Sumo Logic.
In the past, you may have toggled between two tools: one for tailing your logs and another for advanced analytics for pattern recognition to help with troubleshooting, proactive problem identification and user analysis. With Sumo Logic Live Tail, you can now troubleshoot from the Sumo Logic browser interface or from a Sumo Logic Command Line Interface without investing in a separate solution for live tail, thereby reducing the cost of owning licenses for multiple tools.
From an existing search, click the Live Tail link (just below the search interface).
In both instances, you'll need to enter the name of the _sourceCategory, _sourceHost, _sourceName, _source, or _collector of the log you want to tail, along with any filters. Click Run to initiate the search query. That will bring up a session similar to Figure 1.
Figure 1. A Live Tail session.
To find specific information, such as errors and exceptions you can filter by keyword. Just add your keywords to the Live Tail query and click Run or press Enter. The search will be rerun with the new filter and those keywords will be highlighted on incoming messages, making easy to spot conditions. The screen clears, and new results automatically scroll.
Figure 2. Using Keyword Highlighting to quickly locate items in the log stream.
To highlight keywords that appear in your running Live Tail, click the A button. A dialog will open — enter the term you'd like to highlight. You may enter multi-term keywords separated by spaces. Hit enter to add additional keywords. The different keywords are then highlighted using different colors, so that they are easy to find on the screen. You can highlight up to eight keywords at a time.
A single log file doesn't always give you a full view. Using the multi-tail feature, you can tail multiple logs simultaneously. For example, after a database reboot, you can check if it was successful by validating that the application is querying the database. But if there's an error on one server, you'll need to check the other servers to see if they may be affected.
You can start a second Live Tail session from the Live Tail page, or from the Search page, and the browser opens in split-screen mode, and streams 300 – 400 messages per minute. You can also open, or "pop out" a running Live Tail session into a new browser window. This way, you can move the new window to another screen, or watch it separately from the browser window where Sumo Logic is running.
One of the highlights of Sumo Logic Live Tail is the ability to launch in context, which allows you to seamlessly alternate between Sumo Logic Search and Live Tail in browser mode. For example, when you are on the search page and need to start tailing a log file to view the most recent log files coming in (raw log lines), you click on a button to launch the Live Tail page from Search and the source name gets carried forward automatically. If you are looking to perform more advanced operations like parsing, using operators or increasing the time range for the previous day, simply click "Open in Search". This action launches a new search tab which automatically includes the parameters you entered on the Live Tail page. There is no delay to re-enter the parameters.
For more information about using Live Tail, check out the documentation in Sumo Logic Help.

China denies US allegations of cyber espionage
(By Deutsche Welle) For the first time, Washington has directly accused Beijing of conducting cyber espionage against the Pentagon. The attacks were allegedly aimed at gathering intelligence on US defense programs.
Beijing has denied US allegations that the Chinese military was conducting cyber espionage against the Pentagon, claiming instead that Washington was trying to sensationalize China's military buildup as a national security threat.
"The Chinese government and armed forces have never sanctioned hacking activities," Senior Colonel Wang Xinjun, a researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences in Beijing, told the official Xinhau news agency. The academy is a high-level research institute affiliated with the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
In its annual report on China's ongoing military buildup, the US Defense Department had claimed on Monday that some recent breaches of American government-owned computer networks were "attributable directly to the Chinese government and military."
"These intrusions were focused on exfiltrating information," The Pentagon said in its report. "China is using its computer network exploitation (CNE) capability to support intelligence collection against the U.S. diplomatic, economic, and defense industrial base sectors that support US national defense programs."
China's Foreign Ministry, for its part, called the US allegations of cyber espionage "irresponsible," saying that China's defense buildup was "legitimate and normal."
"China is committed to a path of peaceful development and pursues a defensive defense policy," said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hu Chunying, adding that Beijing "resolutely oppose[s] any form of hacking attacks."
Stealing industrial secrets
While the Pentagon report may represent the first time that the US government has directly accused Beijing of cyber hacking, it is not the first time that such activity has been allegedly traced back to the Chinese military.
Last February, the American private security firm Mandiant published a report claiming to document a campaign of cyber attacks conducted by a unit of the PLA, known as Unit 61398. Mandiant said that it had tracked attacks against at least 141companies and organizations back to the military unit in Shanghai. The attacks targeted some 115 US organizations.
According to Adam Segal, an expert on Chinese security and foreign policy, cyber espionage is part of Beijing's overarching goal of becoming what it calls "a comprehensive national power." That means expanding China's military capabilities, and above all developing its economic potential. Hacking US companies for commercial secrets could help give Beijing that competitive edge.
"It's part of China's efforts to move the economy from 'made in China' to 'innovated in China' – to move China up the value chain," Segal, with the Council on Foreign Relations, told DW.
Incidents of cyber infiltration allegedly committed by Chinese actors have occurred at Google, General Motors and Lockheed Martin, among other US companies. Lockheed Martin is the lead contractor on the Pentagon's F-35 stealth fighter project.
There have been reports for years that Chinese cyber spies managed to copy data related to the design of the F-35. In congressional testimony last April, Air Force Lieutenant General Charles Davis said that Beijing may have used copied data from the F-35 to develop its own J-31 stealth fighter.
Strategic deterrent against US
Beyond industrial espionage, Beijing is using cyber espionage to pursue its other core national interests, according to Michael Swaine, with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Those interests include backing up China's disputed territorial claims over Taiwan as well as in the South China and East China Seas.
"It can also be used as a way of engaging in a kind of asymmetrical warfare in the event that a severe crisis or conflict emerges over Taiwan, where the Chinese would see cyber warfare as an element of an overall effort to deter the US from intervening," Swaine, an expert on China and East Asia security, told DW.
With Chinese defense spending increasing by 10 percent annually, Washington may also be engaging in cyber espionage to gain a better idea of what, exactly, China's intentions are as it builds up its military.
"The US has not been particularly forthcoming about its offensive operations," Segal said. "I don't have any reason to believe that the US does not conduct espionage against China – in fact I'm fairly certain that we do."
"The point the United States makes is that the cyber espionage we conduct is against political and military targets, and that we don't conduct cyber industrial espionage," he said. "We don't steal secrets for US companies."

I wish there were an emoticon for <slaps forehead with one hand whilst lightbulb goes on over head>. I was pondering Coroners & Justice on the flight home last night, when I realised what the Bill is really all about (although I'm sure I'm not the first). Click through for the answer…
Coroners & Justice isn't about public service efficiency, enhanced medical research or protecting the public good (although these would all be great things). If that's what we wanted to do then we'd simply put in place the necessary legal gateways for sharing. No, I reckon that someone in the government believes that Coroners & Justice is part of a strategy to get us out of the recession.
HM Government is the largest data processor in the UK (and with the number of cameras and databases, probably one of the largest in the world). Every aspect of our lives from cradle to grave is recorded in a government database somewhere. The thing that protects our privacy is the fact that these data silos aren't joined up – partly because of the technical complexity of doing so, and partly because of the legal gateways that would prevent them from doing so. What's more, the government has legal powers to gather data that would be unthinkable for private organisations – tax, health, education, criminal records.
So imagine how much that data might be worth to private organisations? The likes of Experian and Acxiom already have multi-billion pound business models for aggregating and selling personal information, but they have to restrict their information to that which they can legally process with valid consent and in compliance with a host of regulations. The richness of HM Government's data resources would be incredible, and despite the credit crunch, there would be deals to be cut with private companies that would want that data. After all, DVLA already sells driver data to clamping companies, so the business model has been proven. Once the Information Sharing Order is signed, health data can be sold to drug companies, criminal records data to security firms and vetting agencies, and the richest possible profile of our lives can be aggregated by the private sector.
The biggest clue is in Part 50A, Power to enable information sharing, which defines an "appropriate Minister" as:
(a) the Secretary of State,
(b) the Treasury, or
(c) any other Minister in charge of a government department.
Why is the Treasury singled out from all other government departments? What makes Treasury special, other than its responsibility for raising revenues? This seems to support the idea that Coroners & Justice is all about gathering money.
The potential profits to be made would be huge. The legal justification is in the Bill – after all, making revenue money would be both a policy objective and in the public interest. And once passed, everything could be set in motion by the signing of a single Information Sharing Order.
Is that what Coroners & Justice is all about? I hope not, but I'm probably in a somewhat jaded mood and the cynic in me can't dismiss this idea. Am I being too cynical? I hope so.
