“We live in a world where organisations have learnt to exploit our
privacy for commercial and political gain.
This
needs to change. Our parliaments should set down a new standard for privacy
protection that matches the global baseline set by the GDPR.
This will
fix the confusing mix of laws and regulations, thereby providing greater
clarity, certainty and stronger enforcement. It will also build trust in the
community that our governments and businesses are using personal data in ways
that are respectful of people’s wishes and their privacy.”
George Williams, Dean of Law, University of
New South Wales.
