Apparently, a chick writing about technology policy + law should have come with a trigger warning for blokes. Some seem rather upset by anger about the ABC sharing data with Facebook+Google. So rather than engage with messages individually, here are my responses to all.

10 questions journos should be asking about the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) on the contact-tracing app:

A THREAD:

1.Did it follow the OAIC’s guidelines for conducting PIAs?

Ping @arielbogle @CroweDM @justinrhendry @MaxKoslowski @fergushunter @bengrubb 2.Was it done by privacy experts (such as one of the 21 pre-qualified suppliers listed on the Australian Government’s Privacy Services Panel, created via open tender: tenders.gov.au/Son/Show/57A7B… )?

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
