This 3 volume report weighs in at 4.86kg. The ALRC chairman himself believes only one person in Australia will read covers to covers! Anyway, a few snippets here of possible interest (all from Ch.28 on Data Security):
28.25 "Australia's National Computer Emergency Response Team submitted that additional provisions should be included for the security of personal information exchanged over the internet".28
28.12 "There is a clear connection between compliance by agencies and organisations with the 'Data Security' principle and the ALRC's recommended data breach notification provisions.14 For example, where an agency or organisation has acted in accordance with its obligations under the 'Data Security' principle—such as taking steps to encrypt personal information—exceptions to the data breach notification provisions may apply. The deterrent effect of a data breach notification requirement also will provide increased incentives for agencies and organisations to take seriously their obligations under the 'Data Security' principle".
28.33 "The ALRC does not recommend additional data security provisions for personal information exchanged over the internet. This would be inconsistent with the ALRC's recommendation that the UPPs should be technology neutral and capable of general application.39 The ALRC addresses issues relating to technological developments in Part B".
