How much privacy does an employee have when using a work laptop at home? In Australia not a lot, apparently.
The senior civil servant, from the Commonwealth Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism, was fired after a software program (called Spector360) was set up by the department to catch any use of the word "knockers". It all started when the government gave him a laptop for this personal use at home. But soon afterward, the employee was caught googling the word "knockers" and looking at legal pornography. That was despite the access being out of work hours and the public servant using his own internet service provider.
