PRIVACY LEGISLATION
910. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Minister for Innovation and
ICT:
I thank the minister for his answer
to my question without notice 874 regarding reform of WA's privacy
legislation. I note that work on this reform has been underway since prior to
2019, and I draw to the minister's attention recent and repeated
breaches of data privacy by government agencies.
Can the minister please provide an
estimated time frame for the introduction of this much-needed reform?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The
drafting of bills and their introduction into Parliament is a decision of
cabinet and is therefore cabinet-in-confidence.
