Danger of census facts leaking, Liberty Victoria warns

Submitted by Liberty Victoria on Fri, 22/07/2016 - 10:23

Information from next month’s census will be a “honeypot” for hackers, Liberty Victoria warned today.

“The safest way to keep data secure is not to retain it at all,” the human rights group said. “Information security can no longer be guaranteed.”

There are increasingly frequent instances of serious data breaches of personal information held by both government[i] and business.

Human rights group backs doctors on whistleblowing

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 27/07/2016 - 16:57

A human rights group has swung behind doctors who want the right to disclose what happens in detention centres.

Doctors for Refugees has filed a High Court challenge to the secrecy provisions in the Australian Border Force Act, contending that the laws inappropriately curtail people’s freedom to participate in political communication around conditions and care in detention.

Liberty Victoria welcomed this critical development.
