Tweet of the Day - 1 August 2013

Fairfax journalist Andrea Vance has vented her spleen this morning over the release of her phone records. You can read her piece here.

But this tweet raises an interesting perspective:

It's rather like Nicky Hager's outrage at journalists being declared subversives by the military when the Helen Clark government was in power in 2003, having himself profited significantly from a book based on e-mails gained by nefarious means. 

Things are not always as black and white as they seem. And what about Winston Peters' role in all of this, given his boast of having phone records? The Privileges Committee hearing later in the month might have all sorts of surprises.
