¹ For example, s.5(a) of the Information Privacy Act 2000 (Vic), which sets out one of the objects of the Act, refers to the `public interest in protecting the privacy of personal information.' Similarly, the objects of the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic) refer at s.6(b) to the `public interest in protecting the privacy of health information'. Arguably, however, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) does not recognise the social value of privacy: s.29(a) requires the Federal Privacy Commissioner to have due regard to the protection of `important human rights and social interests that compete with privacy' (emphasis added).
