The Cyberspace Law & Policy Centre is holding a one-day
Symposium to discuss the Australian Law Reform Commission's
Report on Privacy (August 2008), and to take stock
of the NSW Law Reform Commission's Consultation Paper 3: Privacy
Legislation in New South Wales (July 2008). The Symposium
is part of the Interpreting Privacy Principles Project, an
Australian Research Council Discovery Project.
The theme of the Symposium will be to consider how well the
ALRC proposals and draft NSWLRC proposals meet a number of
current privacy challenges, including sessions on:
- Providing a set of Privacy Principles that set a new
global standard
- Building consumer trust in electronic commerce
- Delivering effective enforcement of privacy rules and
remedies for breaches
- Limiting the growth of a surveillance society
- Meeting international standards to facilitate appropriate
cross border data transfers
A detailed program based on these
sessions is available here.
