We have two children; at present all I can do is watch our bank account and try not to worry. I wonder if its worth changing bank accounts?

The people most at risk will be those who do internet banking, and those who've used their children's names as passwords. Fortunately we haven't done either of those things, for that very reason. Not that there's much in our bank account to nick...

I'm not sure that changing your bank account will achieve anything. If there is an ulterior reason for these discs not turning up, it will be to sell the details on to get new passports, credit cards and the like. There isn't a great deal that you can do except what you are and notify the relevant body if anything looks suspicious.

I did have to smile at one spokesperson's pathetic attempt to re-assure by saying that the files were password protected - oh so that's ok then!

It is just possible that the government here could stay by a seat. The socialist enemy have to get 16 seats and W.A is the difficult one because everyone over here is making a fortune. Bulldozer drivers and tradesmaen all with two story houses with swimming pools and driving V8 Landcruisers and boats. Who needs Labor?
Labor must get two seats in W.A to get in. Hang on everyone. There is still hope.

If his nose is "Ruddy" on Saturday night, it will be one of the best days of my life.

You never can tell though. Jeff Kennett's Liberal Party came into power in Victoria with a $40 billion Labor debt and a AA- rating. He extinguished the debt, got back to a AAA+ rating and the voters got rid of him for the Labor party........Go figure!

Just like Churchill in 1945 you might say!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Everyone thinks noone else will vote for Labour so its safe for them to do so.

And I apologise profusely that it was my generation that voted Labour in in 1997. I did warn them....

If you are worried bout your bank account, or just want to be sure, go into your bank when it is quiet, explain why, then close your accounts, and reopen new ones with them with new numbers etc. be a damned nuisance though.

Any idea what sort of disks these were? Surely you can't get 25 million entries on two CD-Rs, or even DVD-Rs?

Depends upon the format of the raw data. Simple numeric alpha-numeric formatless coding takes up minimal space. Even standard dual layered DVDs can carry just over 8 gigs.

So 16 or 17 gigs should be sufficient space for the data.
