[Year 12 IT Apps] Privacy Act

[geoffmoss37 at bigpond.com]

hi Laura

The 2000 Amendment Act is an amendment of the 1988 Act and as such is considered part of the latter Act.  Your students should refer to the 1988 Act as the amendments are now encompassed within that Act.

Contrary to your Legal studies teacher's comments, all amendments are considered part of the parent Act, in this case the 2000 Act is amendment of the 1988 Act, the parent Act.

Likewise, amendments to the Copyright Act in 2000 and 2006 are incorporated in the parent Act - the Copyright Act 1968.

Initially I taught the students that they should state the Privacy Act 1988, but when I talked to our legal studies teacher she said the amendment would over ride the existing Act and therefore they should refer to the Privacy Amendment Act 2000. Is it likely that examiners will be that strict if the students state the Privacy Act 1988?
