You know a government is in trouble when it starts accusing aging hacks like me and my colleague Andrew West of engaging in high level cyber crime.

And yet, in his first day in Parliament since announcing on the weekend details of the government's transport blueprint, the only question from the Labor benches to Transport Minister Dave Campbell concerned a fanciful claim the had somehow hacked a top secret website to reveal the plan early.

The government site they didn't want you to see ... all a reader had to do was type http://nswtransportblueprint.com.au/project into their computer's address bar and tap 'enter'. Some hack.

Campbell said that by accessing a website where the plan was available, the had done the equivalent of "pick the lock off a secure office and take highly confidential documents".

He went further and said the campaign to crack the site had been so determined there had been "3727 hits on the firewall of the website from four different IP addresses" last Thursday and Friday and the contractor in charge of the site, IT private, had referred the matter to the police.
