Hi mjec, thanks.

I didn't know about this latest turn of events! This quote in particular is extremely disturbing... I noticed it in the FOI rejection, but now they're telling this to the Senate:

> In relation to the source code for the Senate counting system, I am advised that publication of the software could leave the voting system open to hacking or manipulation.

This was after the Senate asking, this argument has nothing to do even with the FOI request.

And a previous thread on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/29t2q7/aec_threat...
