[Year 12 IT Apps] Privacy - A yoke around our necks

[David Dawson]

Aren't these actually great questions that are generally ignored by the
business sector? I have had calls from mobile phone company reps in
India with information about me being disclosed. Is this in breach of
the Privacy Act? 
I have been offered credit cards by companies and banks I do not have
accounts with - how do they get my details?
It is probably the Vic Govt trying to comply with the Commonwealth Act.
Very interesting times.

A good example for ITA classes of the way a good concept is corrupted by
governments that have no regard for efficiency or effectiveness. only
for
making sure the paperwork is done so that regardless of outcomes,
someone
else can be blamed.
