Hey @billshortenmp@tanya_plibersek@TurnbullMalcolm to capitalise on heightened privacy concerns in the electorate, here are 9 election promises to make, to show you take privacy seriously:
1. Revert #MyHealthRecord to opt-in, and fix too-easy access controls
2. Tighten Privacy Act to prevent misuse of citizens’ data a la @bluemilk
3. Appoint a tough Privacy Commissioner & fund @OAICgov properly so they can robustly investigate cases like Facebook & Cambridge Analytica, and enforce the new Privacy Code
5. Tighten the Privacy Act to match EU standards including higher penalties, right to algorithmic transparency and human review of automated decisions.
6. Repeal warrantless access to telco/ISP metadata
7. Re-think the Data Sharing & Release project, and stop data-matching using Census data
8. Introduce a statutory tort of privacy as recommended by @AusLawReform
9. Abolish the exemption for political parties in the Privacy Act
