Australia Postpones Implementation of Data Breach Notification Laws Again

Despite the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Intelligence and Security recommending that Australia have data breach notification laws in place before the end of 2015, Australian Attorney-General George Brandis told the Senate on Tuesday that laws would not be passed this year.

Responding to questioning from Greens Senator Scott Ludlam, Brandis corrected the record at the end of Senate question time to say data breach legislation would only be introduced to Parliament this year.
