Privacy Act. 3 May 2010

The cartoon shows Sir Geoffrey Palmer, the Law Commission President, chasing a 'private eye' who is a man with a huge single eye in place of his head. Sir Geoffrey carries a plaque bearing the words 'Privacy Act' which he is trying to loop over the head of the runaway. Refers to a review of the Privacy Act 1993, because of the pressures expanding technology can place on privacy. Sir Geoffrey said "We have reached the tentative conclusion that the Act needs to be changed to better facilitate appropriate information-sharing amongst Government agencies." There were questions about whether organisations should be required to notify individuals their personal information has been compromised and if the Privacy Commissioner should have power to compel an organisation to notify affected individuals. Essentially we propose a reformed complaints process together with some new enforcement tools," he said.
