(i) the interpretation of information privacy principles (IPPs) and ?core concepts? in Australia?s various privacy laws, particularly by Courts, Tribunals and privacy regulators;

(iii) proposals for reforms to obtain better uniformity, certainty, and protection of privacy.

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