10 November 2008Research for this submission has been undertaken as part of a Discovery project funded by the Australian Research Council, ?Interpreting Privacy Principles?. Details of the
project, and other publications resulting from it, are available here. The iPP Project is based at the Cyberspace Law & Policy Centre at UNSW Law Faculty. The principal objective of this research is to conduct over the course of the project (2006-09) a comprehensive Australian study of:

(i) the interpretation of information privacy principles (IPPs) and ?core concepts? in Australia?s various privacy laws, particularly by Courts, Tribunals and privacy regulators;
(ii) the extent of current statutory uniformity between jurisdictions and types of laws, and
(iii) proposals for reforms to obtain better uniformity, certainty, and protection of privacy.

Submissions to law reform bodies are one outcome of this research.
