The first one is privately owned and seems happy to provide to the police pretty much any information about your finances that the police might ask for, without a warrant. It has updated its privacy policy since then, though it won't disclose just what that policy is.
The second one is owned by the government but has been told off for failing to comply with anti money-laundering regulations. If the police asked them for data, maybe they wouldn't be able to find it.
Doesn't seem that hard a choice, really.
Apologies for the hiatus. Last week brought the launch of our newest report, and a fair bit of follow-up work. Posts on that to follow, and your regularly scheduled service soon to resume.
Update: nobody really comes out well in New Zealand, where deference to the police is pretty ingrained - as Rodney Hide points out in today's print NBR.
