Saving Ryan's Privacy: Melissa Fai on the big changes coming to privacy law and enforcement

Technology + Digital Partner Melissa Fai takes us through the seismic changes to the Privacy Act now expected in August, with new protections for individuals, obligations on business and powers for the regulator to match the massive increase in maximum penalties we saw in 2022. Plus more yellow cards for FIFA and other sports administrators in the courts; the backlog in submissions for Treasury competition and consumer consultations; antitrust trolling from the US congress; and federal relations return to the Competition Policy Review with the crafting of bright lines. All this and Matt Damon with co-hosts Moya Dodd and Matt Rubinstein.
