I regret to inform voters in Unley and across the state that the elections website of ECSA is unethical and a possible surveillance issue. Over the past week I've noticed that it is served at IP address 13.72.243.184. A quick `whois':

$> whois -h whois.arin.net -- '13.72.243.184' > $(date "+%4Y%m%d")_ecsa-13.72.243.184-arin-.whois

...identifies the server as owned by Microsoft Corporation.

Why is all our election and candidate data stored and served by a US multinational, that is both too big, and has other ethical shortcomings?
