On January 8 2006, Carolyn Barin purchased a pair of Guess Jeans at a shop in Chatswood. How do I come to have this piece of information - and why is it important? Because it appeared in a newspaper report which in no way concerned Ms Barin - except that another woman claimed to have bought jeans in Chatswood on the same day, as part of her explanation of her own activities that day. Which is where Ms Barin's jeans and name come into it - and court - and the media - because hers were the only Guess jeans purchased there on the day.
It may well be that Ms Barin gave permission for her name to be used - but it perhaps raises the question about how private are any of our details. And do we have a true understanding of what "privacy" means in day-to-day life?
