communications and IT spokeswoman asked how getting rid of

written about the need to be careful, a story breaking late
last week has prompted a new warning.
It could have been a case of art imitating life or even life
online imitating art, but the case of a North Island
beneficiary being sprung on Facebook had the makings of a
classic whodunnit novel.
