[Year 12 SofDev] VITTA SD exam 2 - two majors issue with A8

[Mark KELLY]

Hi all.  Section A, Q8.  Two problems...

1. The suggested answer is the Information Privacy Act, but none of the
answers is right.
The IPA applies to:

   (a)  a Minister;
   (b)  a Parliamentary Secretary, including the Parliamentary
Secretary of the Cabinet;
   (c)  a public sector agency;
   (d)  a Council;
   (e)  a body established or appointed for a public purpose by or under an Act;
   (f)  a body established or appointed for a public purpose by the
Governor in Council, or by a Minister, otherwise than under an Act;
   (g)  a person holding an office or position established by or under an Act
        (other than the office of member of the Parliament of Victoria) or to
        which he or she was appointed by the Governor in Council, or by a
        Minister, otherwise than under an Act;
   (h)  a court or tribunal;
   (i)  the police force of Victoria;
   (j)  a contracted service provider, but only in relation to its
provision of services under a State contract which contains a
provision of a kind referred to in section 17(2)

Pizza shops are *not* subject to the IPA 2000!

2. The word "customer" is used twice in the question: one is the pizza
shop customer; the other is the software customer.

It ends up very ambiguous which customer is being referred to: it
sounds like the programmer has to contact the pizza customers!
