[LINK] Privacy .. what's that?

[Adam Todd]

Not realy useful in Australia.

Most of those records won't be available.

Anything that is will be harvested from public 
web sites using google as a primary source of pointers.

You can't get marriage and birth and like records 
unless you are a party, in fact a child can't eve 
get a parents marriage certificate unless the parents are dead.

Australia doesn't have "County Court" records, so 
it's British or perhaps some parts of the USA.

There is no DMV in Aus, in fact you'd be hard 
pressed for $46 to get driving records of anyone, 
because unless you specifically approached the 
State Registry and paid the $23 knowing someone 
has a record with that state (and you can only 
get current address anyway) then it's gonna cost 
this company a fortunate processing random 
requests to each of the 9 registries in Aus.

Same with Birth records, but unless you are the 
person or a parent or limited reasons of a 
sibling, you can't get birth records either.

Won't go over the rest.

Now unless someone has changed all the laws in 
Aus and made all the records public ...
