Hey @billshortenmp @tanya_plibersek @TurnbullMalcolm to capitalise on heightened privacy concerns in the electorate, here are 9 election promises to make, to show you take privacy seriously:

1. Revert #MyHealthRecord to opt-in, and fix too-easy access controls
2. Tighten Privacy Act to prevent misuse of citizens’ data a la @bluemilk

3. Appoint a tough Privacy Commissioner & fund @OAICgov properly so they can robustly investigate cases like Facebook & Cambridge Analytica, and enforce the new Privacy Code

4. Stop #robodebt
5. Tighten the Privacy Act to match EU standards including higher penalties, right to algorithmic transparency and human review of automated decisions.

6. Repeal warrantless access to telco/ISP metadata
7. Re-think the Data Sharing & Release project, and stop data-matching using Census data

8. Introduce a statutory tort of privacy as recommended by @AusLawReform

9. Abolish the exemption for political parties in the Privacy Act
