"On Monday, the Australian government released draft legislation for the next
big overhaul of the
Privacy Act.
The
Privacy Amendment (Personal Data Protection) Bill 2026 is now out for
public comment, together with a consultation paper. It is the second instalment
(or “tranche”) of privacy reform , and it is the one that matters most.
The bill contains dozens of new measures, such as stronger consent requirements
and a “right to be forgotten”, but at its heart is a world-first test that
could bypass many loopholes companies use to justify what they do with personal
data."
