I do not take too seriously anybody who writes things like:

"Communications Minister and steadily-balding man Malcolm Turnbull.........."

That story did originate from The Australian.

junkee:

Earlier this afternoon the Australian reported that Turnbull is one of a number of government ministers “using a secret messaging service to communicate, in which their correspondence self-destructs”.

PM aspirants in secret agent class

THE leadership contenders for the prime ministership, Scott Morrison and Malcolm Turnbull, are using a secret messaging service to communicate, in which their correspondence self-destructs.

Turnbull and Morrison, along with other MPs like Alex Hawke, have been using a social media app called Wickr to discuss the leadership crisis and any movement in numbers.

Wickr has private, encrypted and self-destructing data and files sent over the service are “shredded” in a cyber sense because there is no trace of them.

Wickr has been the preferred method of communication among most behind the February 9 leadership spill, and is being used to discuss strategy and Tony Abbott’s performance.

Politicians adopted the app because they were concerned all other correspondence, including texts and emails, could be traced, copied or was insecure.

The US government has been unsuccessful in trying to hack into the app. Similar to snapchat, there is a “default destruction” time of between a few seconds to six days after the message is read. If a screenshot of the communication is taken, the user is advised.

Diary downloaded Wickr and, sure enough, was able to locate Turnbull among its users. But I won’t reveal his codename.

Is Malcolm a hypocrite?

No. He's just a grubby politician. Let's face it, politicians would mangonise the Australian population if it would guarantee their re-election.

Yes, he is a huge hypocrite.

He buys shares in companies that benefit from fibre broadband then then immediately tries to kill off the fibre NBN.

Yes, he said he wanted a republic but then if he can't have it his way he's going to sook off and not have a republic.

I'm sure there are more examples.

How did Sharee Markson know what was shared on Wickr by Messrs Turnbull, Morrison & Hawke if it's so secure?

I reckon Mr Turnbull has shares in the Wickr company.

As I first suspected, the article may well have been an advertorial.

Any proof of this ?

Or are you talking about the company in France that works on French Telecoms ?
