Protection of Private Communications

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:53): Supplementary: noting the minister's response, is the government considering further reform in this area?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:53): I thank the honourable member. There is work being done at a national level on privacy more generally, and I know the honourable member's colleague has talked about that, particularly in terms of facial recognition. We will continue to be a part of that federal work in terms of privacy generally.
