On 11 October 2024, Ai Group filed a submission to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee’s inquiry into the Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024. The Bill would enact a first tranche of reforms to the Privacy Act 1988 to implement several legislative proposals agreed by the Government in its Response to the Privacy Act Review (September 2023). The Bill would also introduce a new statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy and targeted criminal offences to respond to doxxing.
