[Informatics] Woolworths, Pokies and U4O2

[Garth, Lucas A]

Good morning Informatics teachers,

Here's a news article of an issue that might be worth talking about as part of U4O2 Ethics.  Looking at the way the information is recorded, it's absolute amateur hour.  I'm not sure whether they would be in breach of the Privacy Act, but certainly worth considering if they are storing the information, people are unaware of this and can't get the information changed about themselves.

Wouldn't matter if it were pokies or regular customers to BWS I don't reckon.  But pokies is a political lightning rod for Andrew Wilkie and good on him.
