    This from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC):

    Our office can provide information and guidance on the operation of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act), such as available online in the Australian Privacy Principles (APP) guidelines.

    APP 6 permits the disclosure of personal information in certain circumstances, such as if required or authorised under another law, but APP 6 itself does not compel the disclosure personal information.

    Furthermore, the APPs generally do not apply to organisations with an annual turnover less than $3million. As such, we are generally unable to advise on whether an owners’ corporation with an annual turnover of less than $3million must make emails obtained for inclusion on the strata roll available to owners.

    So what they’re saying is that since the Australian Privacy Principles don’t apply to strata schemes (of under $3 million turnover) they can’t say whether or not they apply.

    How stupendously unhelpful.
