#81 At last! The Government responds on privacy reform

This week we discuss and react to the Federal Government's response to the Privacy Act review report. The Government's long-awaited response comes after several years of discussion and debate about the way forward for Australia's privacy regime. We break down which proposals the Government is moving forward with, which ones it won't, and which ones are slated for further discussion.   Links: Government response to the Privacy Act Review Report https://www.ag.gov.au/rights-and-protections/publications/government-response-privacy-act-review-report Article about reform response (InnovationAus) https://www.innovationaus.com/cautious-welcome-for-govts-planned-privacy-law-upgrade/ Article about reform response (Guardian) https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/28/labor-albanese-government-privacy-crackdown-political-parties   Credits: Editing and post-production by Martin Franklin (East Coast Studio) eastcoaststudio.com.au Music by Bensound.com
