<div dir="auto"><div>Hi Matt,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Are you suggesting that you believe that this change is just more "red tape", rather than a win for the individual with regards to knowing if their PII may have, for whatever reason, fallen into the wrong hands, and may be used for less-than-satisfactory (from the perspective of said individual) purposes?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">If you feel that adequately protecting and reporting on loss of PII belonging to other individuals is an onerous task that you shouldn't need to be part of, you could always not collect/store PII. Less red tape that way!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Robert</div><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 27 Feb 2017 10:20 PM, "Matt Perkins" <<a href="mailto:matt@spectrum.com.au">matt@spectrum.com.au</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Didn't they say this was the government that would slash red tape ?<br>
