Regardless of how this information was obtained (a matter which I think should also be investigated), Daniel's actions here are egregious. They stand in stark contrast to the values of Linux Australia, in particular those of community and respect.

Deliberately publishing the personal information of a large number of people, without consent, in response to a thread explicitly describing concerns with such disclosure, is at best immoral. It is inflammatory and designed to cause upset. I can see no justification for it, and it demands a swift and serious response.

I think the appropriate response is to expel Daniel Pocock from Linux Australia, ban him from associated events, and ban him from the mailing lists. I urge the Council to begin that process immediately.
