[AusNOG] Mandatory data breach notification will become law in Australia

[Matt Perkins]

Im suggesting that more and more government regulation does but one 
thing push small guys out of the market.  It wont just be a reporting 
requirement but there will be forms reports. Reporting officers etc 
etc.  It's not the reporting requirement I have a problem with it's all 
the red tape that's going to go with it.

The government needs to learn that 3million turnover  is not a large 
business.  Why can  these things not be decided on profit. There's a lot 
of small operators that collect 3 million and then turn over the bulk of 
that  AAPT/Telstra/Optus/Vocus .

Yet the government treats them like AAPT/Telstra/Optus/Vocus
