After years of anticipation, a privacy reform Bill has been introduced to parliament.  If enacted, the Bill will implement significant changes, with broader enforcement rights for the OAIC and a new statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy that may result in more private litigation.  However, more substantive changes will have to wait for a later date, with the Government indicating that it will continue to work on a further tranche of reforms.  Our Privacy experts have summarised the changes, what the path forwards might look like and what businesses need to plan for in the future. https://ow.ly/IXYL50TlG53
