The threats to privacy have multiplied and intensified in recent years. Privacy advocates have been forced onto a treadmill of continual reactive responses to corporate abuses, government agency efforts to establish a national database, and sporadic political initiatives with unjustified negative impacts on privacy.

The Australian Privacy Foundation has accordingly moved towards more proactive Policy Statements on important privacy issues. About a dozen Statements are current.

The APF is launching today the Exposure Draft of a further Policy Statement. It invites feedback from its members, and from others who are interested in contributing to the protection of privacy in Australia.
