The Albanese Labor government’s move to up privacy protections has been described as “right-sized” and “fit-for-purpose” by the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman.
The move comes as part of a suite of measures to deal with strengthening privacy laws in the country with the Albanese government agreeing to implement 38 out of the 116 recommendations made by the Privacy Act Review Report while agreeing in principle to 68 recommendations, with 10 being noted.
