"65,000 years of history (both recorded and lost) are inscribed on the dark walls and ceiling, inviting viewers to fill in the blanks and grasp the inherent fragility of this mournful archive"

This work looks extraordinary

This week's RFH is a cracker

What an outlandish thing to do.

We welcome the final report of the Attorney-General’s Department’s (AGD) review of the Privacy Act 1988 and encourage interested parties to have their say about privacy reform in Australia through the AGD’s feedback process. Read our media release: https://t.co/MEm5JVdoH1

Also new: " Amend APP 1.4 to stipulate than an APP entity’s privacy policy must specify its personal information retention periods."

Quite a bit in the report that would mean swinging the pendulum towards prescribed obligations to destroy / de-identify as opposed to meeting minimum retention periods and potentially retaining much longer

There's a proposal that APP 11 require both maximum and minimum retention periods for personal information, and that these rules are regularly reviewed - implications here for records disposal programs

Expect periodic tweetage about AG's Privacy Act Review report - in particular regarding recordkeeping implications

This week on TWIDT Arj and Jordan look at the human labour powering AI solutions - solutions that we're encouraged to view as magic in a box, blinding us to sweat and toil in the background, often via sub-contracting arrangements in the developing world https://t.co/L1oSM6vEw5
