ABC News TV, 3:40pm today (30 May)

I wouldn't call it lengthy - about 4 minutes.

The producer who rang me said they wanted to talk about what patents can
do to protect the privacy of their health data and I said - nothing -
it's up to the hospital/medical centre. You just have to trust them.
They steered clear of that and mostly stuck to standard IT security risks.

They didn't want to get into the My Health Record, which is a totally
different kettle of risk and intrusion - IMHO.

I got the impression they would have preferred a shocked reaction, but I
prefer to present a more reasonable, rational opinion, which I hope and
think I did.

This was the news item they were interested in:
