Facial recognition ruling a warning to government: Santow
Denham
Sadler
National Affairs Editor
9 November 2021
The recent determination by the privacy watchdog on facial recognition should be a warning for Australian governments and companies using the technology, with legislated protections urgently needed, former Human Rights Commissioner Edward Santow says.
Last week the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) released its determination finding that Clearview AI had breached Australian privacy laws through its “indiscriminate and automated” collection of sensitive biometric information of Australians on a large scale, for profit.
Clearview offers a facial recognition app which allows users to upload a photo of an individual and have it matched with images from the company’s database of more than 3 billion images, which it has hoovered up from across the internet.
The OAIC found the company breached privacy laws in several ways, and ordered it to stop collecting the data of Australians and delete all of the data it already has. The privacy office also found that a number of Australian police forces had tried out the facial recognition technology.

The new world of vaccine passports
As borders begin to open, authorities have started issuing vaccine passports, but how do they work, and are they secure?
12th November 2021
The era of vaccine passports has begun in Australia, with two states releasing smartphone apps so people can quickly prove they’re double-jabbed against COVID-19.
Only a few months ago, the Federal Government was touting the fact that the Medicare app could work as a vaccine passport.
But it copped criticism because the certificates were basically PDF documents that could be forged in about 15 minutes.
So, the NSW and Victorian governments have developed their own versions.
NSW has reused the technology behind its digital driver's licence, which was launched in 2019.
It features a harder-to-forge ‘holographic overlay’ of a waratah, which is the digital version of the subtle shiny background on the physical driver's licence.

Digital connectivity key as Mary Foley dials in to lead Telstra’s health kick
11:00PM November 12, 2021
On Tuesday, Telstra’s second investor day this year will reveal the missing piece in its strategy for the market: the health business.
Mary Foley, Telstra Health’s CEO, says the business may be small compared to the parent company, but its footprint in Australian health is the largest and most comprehensive of any of its peers. “We have a clear line of sight to being a $500m turnover company by 2025,” Foley says.
“And that’s not just pie in the sky stuff. That’s extrapolating the things we have in play now.”
In the past six months, Telstra Health has bought Power Health on the hospital side, and Medical Director on the GP side. Underpinning these acquisitions is a business that has grown not from inside Telstra but from inside the Australian health system itself.
This unusual strategy has a lot to do with the hiring of Foley four years ago. Telstra Health is a subsidiary of Telstra, run separately with a bespoke board and with a different EBA for its 1500 staff.
The Foley philosophy is that to be successful, Telstra could not just lay digital across a health system, which is a minefield of policy, regulation and weird silos across state and federal domains, hospitals, primary care, pharmacy and aged care.

Aussies lose faith in governments and social media to properly protect their private data
· NCA NewsWire
Australians have become less trusting of how governments and companies use their private data following two years of using the Covid-19 check-in apps.
Analysis from the Australian National University shows people’s trust in major institutions to maintain data privacy fell from 5.7 out of 10 to 5.49 between May 2020 and August 2021.
The organisations that had the biggest decrease in trust from Australians were the federal, state and territory governments, along with social media sites and online shopping companies.
Despite the fall in trust, however, most people are continuing to use Covid-19 check-in apps.

We studied suicide notes to learn about the language of despair – and we’re training AI chatbots to do the same

Authors
Senior Research Scientist at the Australian E-Health Research Centre., CSIRO
Principal Research Scientist, Australian eHealth Research Centre, CSIRO
While the art of conversation in machines is limited, there are improvements with every iteration. As machines are developed to navigate complex conversations, there will be technical and ethical challenges in how they detect and respond to sensitive human issues.
Our work involves building chatbots for a range of uses in health care. Our system, which incorporates multiple algorithms used in artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing, has been in development at the Australian e-Health Research Centre since 2014.
The system has generated several chatbot apps which are being trialled among selected individuals, usually with an underlying medical condition or who require reliable health-related information.
They include HARLIE for Parkinson’s disease and Autism Spectrum Disorder, Edna for people undergoing genetic counselling, Dolores for people living with chronic pain, and Quin for people who want to quit smoking.

Talking Vision preview: Accessing your vaccination certificate and digital health records
11 November 2021 ADHA Propaganda
Wallet, keys, mask, phone to check in - the mental checklist before stepping out is ever-expanding.
Showing proof of your COVID-19 vaccination is now mandatory in most Australian establishments, and for people who are blind or have low vision, their smartphone has become their lifeline.
Despite initial hesitancy and privacy fears, digital health records are now common practice. From vaccination certificates, to electronic prescriptions.
This week on Talking Vision, Peter Greco sat down with TV personality and actual doctor, Dr Andrew Rochford to talk about the shift to e-health.
“We weren't able to go sit in a doctor's waiting room, see a doctor, get a prescription, and go to the pharmacy,” Dr Rochford said.

Changes to Australia’s privacy laws: what happens next?
Corrs Chambers Westgarth - Philip Catania, Helen Clarke, Lynton Brooks and Viva Swords
Australia November 8 2021
The Australian Government has announced two significant proposed privacy reforms in recent weeks.
The first is the introduction of an exposure draft for a new Online Privacy Bill (the Bill) - which would enable the creation of new binding online privacy codes for social media and other online platforms, as well as significantly increasing penalties and enforcement measures for all organisations found in breach of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”).
The second is the release of an extensive Discussion Paper by the Attorney-General’s Department as part of its ongoing review into the Privacy Act, which follows a high level Issues Paper published in October 2020.
The Discussion Paper proposes a number of significant reforms to the Privacy Act, many of which are based on overseas regulations such as the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). While amending legislation is yet to be released, if the proposed changes are passed it will represent a significant reshaping of privacy laws in Australia.

Pandemic reveals ‘immense opportunity’ in digital mental health treatment
By Rachel Clun
November 10, 2021 — 5.15am
The coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated the strain on the country’s mental health services but also shown digital technology can be a legitimate tool to fix the system, allowing more people to access services online, over the phone and on video.
If harnessed in the right way, experts believe digital services can transform mental health treatment by giving people access to personalised, appropriate care, ensuring expert clinicians are seeing the right patients and allowing both to track people’s progress.
The digital services that are now widely available are just the tip of the iceberg, according to psychiatrist and co-director of Sydney University’s Brain and Mind Centre, Professor Ian Hickie, who is also critical of the government’s attempt to build its own digital mental health system from scratch.
“We’ve got our little toe in the water through telehealth, which is a 1990s technology,” he said.
Numerous reports, including the Productivity Commission’s report on mental health and the final report from the parliamentary mental health and suicide committee, have highlighted that well-designed digital systems can help change the country’s mental health services for the better.

Telehealth and Australia's mental health care transformation
Blog Cortex - Life Sciences Insights
DLA Piper - Greg Bodulovic, Alexandra Moore and Matt Rozario
Australia November 8 2021
Australia continues to rapidly integrate telehealth as an accepted and much desired element of health care delivery, in particular within the mental health space. Recent activity by the Federal Government has signalled continued growth in this area.
Notably, the House Select Committee on Mental Health and Suicide Prevention has now released its final report into this critical and complex issue (the Report). In addition to the Report, the Australian Federal Government has also recently commenced a period of consultation on its Primary Health Care Plan 10 Year Plan, noting the acceleration of telehealth’s role in the usual course of health care in Australia.
The Report
Among other things, the Report dedicates an entire chapter to virtual mental health care, with the authors commenting that “Various stakeholders and reports have identified the importance of expanding telehealth and digital mental health to improve treatment access and navigation, bridge service gaps, and function as a key component of a national mental health system."
The Report’s virtual mental health care recommendations outlined below (including those focusing on increased regulation such as Recommendation 6) highlight the increasingly prominent position that telehealth is pitched to play in improving access to and delivery of mental health care to Australians.

Privacy reforms for a digital age
Johnson Winter & Slattery Ravi de Fonseka, Christine Ecob, Ken Chan, Daniel Thompson and LuAnna Han
Australia November 5 2021
The government has delivered the next step in the ongoing Privacy Act Review by releasing the exposure draft of the Privacy Legislation Amendment (Enhancing Online Privacy and Other Measures) Bill 2021 and Privacy Review Discussion Paper.
Key takeaways
- The draft bill delivers parts of the proposed privacy reforms that the government considers needed in the short term, including heightened civil penalties, expanded enforcement powers for the Information Commissioner, and the framework to develop and register the Online Privacy Code.
- The Online Privacy Code will regulate how a broad range of online service providers, such as social media providers, data brokerage services, and large platform providers, comply with the Australian Privacy Principles, with a particular view to increasing consumer control over their data, and protection for children and other vulnerable groups.
- The Discussion Paper sets out numerous proposals for broader reform of the Privacy Act, in many cases, aligned to leading international privacy frameworks such as the GDPR and Californian Consumer Protection Act, including an expanded scope of “personal information”, greater consumer rights to control how their information is processed, heightened consent requirements, and numerous measures to improve transparency of data handling practices.
- The government is inviting public submissions on the draft bill (closing 6 December 2021) and Discussion Paper (closing 10 January 2022).
Background
On 25 October 2021, the Attorney-General’s Department released the exposure draft of the Privacy Legislation Amendment (Enhancing Online Privacy and Other Measures) Bill 2021 (Draft Bill) as well as the long awaited Privacy Act Review Discussion Paper (Discussion Paper) for broader review of the Privacy Act 1998 (Cth) (Privacy Act).

In the hi-tech world, children at greatest risk in their own rooms
11:00PM November 7, 2021
The disappearance of four-year-old Cleo Smith from a camping ground evoked the most potent of parental nightmares: the snatching of one’s child by a stranger. Her rescue 18 days later by police made headlines on the other side of the world.
However, contrary to popular imaginings, children left alone outdoors have seldom been safer thanks to technology including video surveillance and mobile phones. For children growing up in the age of ubiquitous connectivity, the most dangerous place to be can be sitting alone in their own bedroom.
In January 2007, Steve Jobs casually proclaimed he was reinventing the mobile phone. He neglected to tell us Apple was also reinventing childhood with a mobile computer and video screen that would become so cheap it could be stuffed into Christmas stockings. Today, more than 90 per cent of Australian teenagers and two-thirds of primary school children have their own smart devices, enabling them to be more or less permanently online.
That screen time can be harmful to kids is not in dispute. What we don’t yet know is how badly or permanently our children are damaged from the absence of physical activity, exposure to cyber-bullying, early introduction to bizarre pornography or contact with strangers.

Cyber hazards are redefining threats to critical infrastructure
The federal government is expecting businesses across many more sectors to enhance digital security to protect an increasingly data-driven economy.
Theo Psychogios and Ian Blatchford
Nov 7, 2021 – 4.01pm
According to Deloitte Access Economics’ recently released Investment Monitor report, business expenditure continues to recover as the government shifts focus from consumers to construction on its climb to a record-high share of the economy.
The numbers paint a compelling picture. The value of publicly funded infrastructure projects has increased from a low of $131 billion in early 2015 to $202 billion in late 2021 – a gain of more than 50 per cent – and is set to rise to about $285 billion as soon as 2023, adding nearly 1.5 percentage points to GDP and thereby surpassing activity during the mining construction boom.
Dangerous crossroads: the federal government has doubled down on legislative initiatives to lift the country’s cyber preparedness and capabilities.
It’s an encouraging future that brings with it lots of promise, but also stern warnings. From cyber attacks to climate change, our current and future infrastructure is facing unprecedented hazards that bring challenges.

Trusted autonomous systems in healthcare: a policy landscape review 1.93 MB
Description
This report draws on both the policy and the academic literature to provide an overview of the issues and challenges identified around the utilisation of autonomous systems in health and care, focusing on issues that are likely to impact the trustworthiness of, and trust in, these systems.
The author looks to span a range of potential applications of these technologies, including those that are likely to be deployed in the near term, such as for diagnosis and screening, and those that are unlikely to be in mainstream use for some years, such as autonomous care and autonomous surgical robots.
