I wonder if the Green Party are scared of what AC will say/do if removed? Let's face it, she must have something good on them if they haven't sacked her yet.
AC doesn't need to have anything good on them in terms of back channel info they don't want getting out. Just needs to have "all that lovely contact/personal info and other privacy related data".
Hypothetically speaking, a pissed off person with access to some/a lot of a political party's data, if they wanted to, they could hypothetically create a headache far beyond anything the Greens have experienced thus far.
Which is why it is a good idea to do some decent digging into a person (or even a quick google in a pinch) to make sure you can be confident that you are placing access to private data in reliable and stable hands.
Right now, depending on how conversations have gone between AC and the Greens thus far, they may have cause to be under-confident that "reliable and stable" are the order of the day. The issue doesn't have to be AC specifically, but could also include those AC resides with, or people who hang around the house, who may POTENTIALLY have had access to the data, depending on how it was stored and how judicious AC was about keeping it secure in a not option-rich, residential setting.
How vulnerable the greens feel privacy/data protection wise right now, could have been impacted by communications with AC while the toing and froing over remaining in certain positions/having a rising star future were discussed. And they may be feeling a tad , Hello Rock, Meet Hard Place with regards to AC.
All I know is that my lawyer bounced on my head so hard about privacy and data protection that if I could hire an angry lion to protect my (very small) filing cabinet, I would.
Bradley resigned from the NUS position on 30 June 2018
Oh. I didn't know a resignation had happened. I though it was just a temp. suspension while an investigation took place.
