[LINK] Rudd Government abandons border security of privacy

[Graham Greenleaf]

Hi all (apologies for x-posting),

Australian Policy Online (APO) has published my article 'Rudd 
Government abandons border security of privacy', about the 
Government's proposals (based on the ALRC) concerning 
exports/outsourcing of personal information at 
http://www.apo.org.au/commentary/rudd-government-abandons-border-security-privacy 


I hope as many people as possible can do their bit to convince the 
Government to abandon this lemon of a policy.  The Government has 
otherwise made  a reasonable set of choices of what to adopt, and 
what to reject, from the ALRC recommendations. This one risks making 
the rest of the reforms worthless.

Regards,

Graham
