We urgently need to rewrite Australia’s paper-thin #privacyact and set up a new regulator that’s firmly on the side of citizens.

Australia has been standing still on this as the power of data aggregators has gone past concerning, straight through dangerous without slowing down, to overwhelming and on.

This latest review is still too weak but I do rather like this line on requirements for consent, which must be:

“voluntary, informed, current, specific and unambiguous”.
