Like many governments and economies, Australia is working to modify and expand its privacy rules to reflect technological innovation.
The emergence of artificial intelligence and heightened awareness of how personal information is handled has rightly prompted new policy debates both in Australia and around the world.
As the government completes a multi-year review of the Privacy Act, Australia’s approach to privacy has arrived at a turning point.
The government should seize this opportunity to adapt the Privacy Act to better protect consumers, empower Australian businesses to compete globally, and ultimately align its privacy rules with bedrock principles embraced by other leading economies internationally.
One of the most pivotal reforms to the Privacy Act should recognise the different roles that different organisations play in handling personal data – and create distinct obligations based on those roles.
