"The department claims it has the right to dump personal info if it
feels it needs to "correct the record." That seems incredibly petty, if
not possibly illegal. But the wonderful thing about government agencies
like Centrelink is that it can simply waive someone else's privacy
protections without breaking the law or consulting any higher authority."
An abuse of power closer to (my) home, here in Australia.
