Subject: Fair Work Bill
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2009 15:20:13 +1100

The Australian Privacy Foundation would like to make a submission in support of the concerns raised by the Office of the Australian Privacy Commissioner (OPC) in its submission to the Committee.
 
Unfortunately, as an all volunteer organisation, currently facing a number of consultations, we have not been able to resource an independent submission on this Bill. However, we are satisfied that the OPC has identified some significant privacy threats in the Bill as introduced.  We support the OPC's suggestions for amendments to provide greater privacy protection.
 
Thank you
