    I don’t consent to my fingerprints being collected (they don’t even have a biometric collection policy yet) so I doubt Security will let us in.

    That’s not what they’re saying.  But a little organised disruption might be in order.  A large number of you could individually ask for access every five minutes or so.

    As far as the by-laws go, as Sir Humphrey said, there is a process …

    • There should have been an agenda with both the pool restrictions and the security listed as motions.
    • Then there should have been a meeting at which 75 per cent of votes were in favour.
    • Then the minutes should have been distributed within 14 days.
    • Meanwhile, the by-laws should have been registered with the Registrar-General and have no effect until they are.

    FYI the Australian Privacy Act says that an “entity that holds personal information must take reasonable steps to protect the information from misuseinterference and loss, as well as unauthorised accessmodification or disclosure.”  So you may be on to something there.

    But first, see if there is a paper trail, as described above, then work out what your next step will be from that. But I think that at the very least keeping supervised kids out of the pool is pretty much guaranteed to fall over at NCAT if challenged.

    Keeping them out of the pool with no adult on hand (pardon the pun)  will be a lot easier.
