On spot price, it is worth between $150,000 to $160,000.

But with plans to sell the nugget to a collector, the price could be pushed as high as $200,000, according to the prospector, who has nicknamed his precious find the "Tibooburra Spud".

Wanted to share my ongoing battle with to get them to tell me what data of mine was breached. Like true corporate heroes with a place in our collective hearts, and after multiple email back and forth, they have just started ignoring me.

Here was my original email to Quest:

Hi Quest Privacy Team,

Thank you for notifying me of the breach and I acknowledge actions taken to address the event within your systems. I am a cybersecurity professional, so I do understand the consequences of having my data breached in this way. I am requesting further information on the exact details regarding my breached personal data. You have stated:

• Your full name
• Your email and/or other contact details

Please be specific and let me know what “other contact details” are, as this is important and may affect how I need to respond. Also, can you confirm if my payment details were not breached? If you can’t confirm this, I will have to assume breach so please be specific; which of my financial details do you hold.

While I appreciate the steps you have taken to remedy the breach, the only support you have provided me is to advise me to be vigilant and contact IDCare. The risk of identity theft and financial loss I am exposed to is in no way my own fault and wholly due to your negligence. The support you have offered me is grossly insufficient. 

Based on the above, I request you provide the following:

1. Exact detail of my known breached personal data.
2. Exact details of personal data held that you can not confirm has not been breached, this includes financial data, drivers licence etc.
3. Fully funded enrolment in a dark web monitoring service for a minimum of 5 years.
4. Support to update identity or financial data such as drivers licence and payment cards.
5. Guidance on your intentions to provide financial recompense for affected customers.

I thank you for your consideration of my points raised above. I know I have raised some serious issues and demands. As a cyber professional I have a deep understanding of the risks I have now been exposed to and I need to put in place measures to protect myself.

I would like to continue this dialogue if you have anyone that wants to reach out to me personally.

Regards,

Department officials rejected the prime minister's claim that a $6 million grant promised to Marrickville Golf Club was meant for fixing sewerage issues.

The prime minister admitted his initial claim to the House of Representatives that the grant was for sewerage fixes was wrong.

I wonder what the weirdest Bunnings is. I just went past the one in Collingwood, Melb. It’s in an old office plaza. They’ve repainted the building green, but it still looks like the sort of building from the 80s that had too much reflective glass and was filled with insurance brokers and solicitor offices. Not too weird, but it got me thinking.

I don’t know if we are doing Opposite Day for the giggles, or the selectors are using balls in a bottle to do the selections but this just makes zero sense to me

Made the mistake of enquiring about a gym course at Jetts and now getting spam texts and emails.

Today's email gives a proper working link if you want to sign up for their latest Black Friday offer. If you want to unsubscribe the options shown at the bottom are either a broken link that goes nowhere or one leading to an insecure rubbish site. Worth a referral to ACMA I reckon.

Also recall asking about a clause in their sign-up contract that states they have the right to film clients in the gym and use it for marketing purposes with no opt out provision. The gym franchisee owner assured me that wouldn't happen at her gym. She was trying to convince me she had the authority to override the contract and that her verbal say so would do the trick. Yeah right.

In short:

Labor MP Luke Gosling's breach of bail charge has been dropped by prosecutors during a short hearing in the Darwin Local Court.

Mr Gosling still faces two charges of assaulting the Northern Territory administrator, which he denies.

What's next?

The MP is due to return to court next month for a hearing related to the assault charges.

MPs wore baby’s breath flowers and orange heart lapel pins in Parliament today.

An orange cockatoo, synonymous with Haines’ local campaign, was placed in her seat in the House of Representatives
