Senator STEELE-JOHN (Western Australia) (14:19): My question is to the Minister representing the Attorney-General, Senator Cash. The majority of Australians mistakenly believe that political parties must abide by the Privacy Act. However, since 2000 there have been almost no legal limits to the use of personal data for political purposes. The Australian privacy commissioner believes that the exemption should be reconsidered to determine whether it is appropriate, given that the data environment has significantly changed in the last 18 years. Why does the Attorney-General maintain that this legislation is appropriate in the modern data environment, particularly in light of recent revelations regarding Facebook and Cambridge Analytica?
