Ita Buttrose’s response to our open letter on mandatory registration for use of ABC iView services, and our reply

On March 2nd, the Australian Privacy Foundation released an open letter addressed to ABC Chair Ita Buttrose, regarding mandatory registration for use of ABC iView services. Ita Buttrose responded this past week in a letter dated March 8th, which you can read in full here. APF Chair David Vaile and Deputy Chair Dr Juanita Fernando have now responded to this reply, and you can read our new open letter in full here. Their response addresses each of the factors Ita raised in her reply, and explains why we in the APF believe there is still no justification for not permitting those Australians unwilling or unable to register to simply continue to enjoy access to their ABC via iView without registration.
