The Attorney-General's Department has released its proposed set of reforms to the Privacy Act.  But how far do the proposals go to help us solve our key privacy challenges: the fact that the onus of responsibility for privacy falls unduly on individuals, gaps in the current coverage of Australia's privacy regime, concerns about data brokers and targeted advertising, the particular harms faced by children and the vulnerable and the likely role of lobbying and vested interests in privacy reform? Arj and Jordan are joined this week by elevenM privacy practice lead Melanie Marks to explore these questions.
