CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION ON STUDENT DATA BREACH BY MICROSOFT TEAMS

SYDNEY 18 MAY,2025The NSW Opposition is calling on the Minns Labor Government to launch an investigation after student data was collected by Microsoft Teams.According to reports, the voice and facial biometric data of school students was collected using the Teams video conferencing app in March, and the Department of Education was unaware of what was going on for a month before the feature was switched off in April."This is a complete breach of privacy and trust for every student and parent across NSW and the Minns Government needs to step in and get to the bottom of what happened here," Mrs Mitchell said."Not only do we not know how long the data was held, but we also have not been told what the data was used for while it existed."What's even more concerning is the fact that it appears there are parents out there who are not even aware this occurred - and that is simply not good enough."There are also reports the Education Department did not answer questions about the number of students and staff affected. ...

Ongoing Rail industrial action in Sydney causing significant disruptions for commuters

Compiled by News Agreggator and Google GEMINI-Fact checking A.RitenisAccording to SBS News reports Sydney commuters should plan ahead and allow extra travel time today as the city's rail network faces disruptions due to ongoing industrial action.As of 5:00 am Monday, 197 Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink drivers and guards had not reported for their shifts, resulting in 335 service cancellations, according to Transport for NSW.Numerous News Reports filed by assorted media emphasize the significant impact of the disruptions on commuters, who have faced repeated delays and cancellations due to the ongoing negotiations.The rail union and the NSW government are locked in a protracted pay dispute. The union initially sought a 32% increase over four years, while the government offered 15% (including mandated superannuation increases). The union's counter-offer of around 20% over three years was later withdrawn after legal challenges.Around one million people rely on the rail network daily, and they have experienced repeated disruptions due to the 10-month-long negotiation.The dispute was heard by the Fair Work Commission on sunday with no resolution.According to the NSW Opposition leader ,...Mark Speakman ,"the Minns Labor Government has lost the plot. The RTBU is running the show, the train network is in freefall,..... and commuters are being treated like collateral damage."In a media statement released late sunday the NSW Opposition Leader Mark Speakman challenged the Premier with the following taunt:"Premier - pick up the phone, call your ally Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and admit what everyone in NSW already knows—you haven’t got a clue how to fix the mess you created by your unaffordable promises to union bosses before the election. Ask him to send in Murray Watt, the federal Workplace Relations Minister, and see if he has the spine to pull the handbrake on this rolling disaster." ... See MoreSee Less
