Title
Australia heading for world-first ‘right to be forgotten’
Abstract
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.
