"A seemingly minor decision handed down last week by the Administrative Review
Tribunal may open the door to widespread use of facial recognition technology
in shops and other privately owned spaces in Australia.
The decision held that Bunnings was entitled to an exception to some rules
around the use of facial recognition technology. In particular, it said the
hardware giant did not need to seek the consent of customers before using the
technology on them.
The tribunal’s decision may yet be appealed to the Federal Court – but if it
stands, it raises worrying questions about the future of privacy, biometric
data, surveillance and consent in Australia."
