What does the Privacy Act do?
It regulates the way agencies can collect, store and use information, and gives us rights of access to it. It also creates a complaints regime. Broadly speaking, agencies that come under the Act usually have to tell you when they’re collecting information about you, keep it secure, try to make sure it’s right, and only use or disclose it for the reasons it was collected.
Copyright
A basic understanding of copyright principles is essential for any blogger, researcher, reporter, photographer, or anyone who publishes their creative works. It’s important for two reasons. First, you should understand how you can properly make use of someone else’s work – quoting from it, reprinting it, summarizing it, even satirizing it. And second, you should understand how you can protect your own legal rights in what you create, so that others don’t take unfair (even unlawful) advantage of it.
