Discussion Paper released!
We are pleased to announce the release of the Discussion Paper for this Inquiry, Serious Invasions of Privacy in the Digital Era (DP 80).
The Discussion Paper provides a detailed account of ALRC research so far, and includes 48 proposals and a number of questions for people to consider and provide feedback on. The ALRC is proposing a model for a new statutory cause of action for serious invasions of privacy to be included in a new Commonwealth Act, and also is putting forward other alternative proposals to strengthen privacy protection.
The Discussion Paper is available in HTML, PDF, and as an ebook.
