In a Salinger Privacy blog post, Principal Anna Johnston, CIPP/E, CIPM, FIP, looks at proposals to amend Australia’s Privacy Act. Johnston discusses proposals released by the Attorney General’s Department in October, which have “much to say about digital harms, targeted advertising, personalised content and the role of online identifiers.” Overall, Johnston said the proposals “represent some sensible ways to strengthen the law,” but she added, “there are some opportunities not yet grasped, and a few things in need of a fix.”
