What the debate was about

Auto-generated

The Bill will also insert a new section 77A into the Roads Act 1993, which will provide the basis in future for the use of traffic cams and other data gathering devices by TII and local authorities, and for the use of data from those cameras. With regard to amendment No. 11 on data sharing devices, we still need other data sharing devices to be subject to such regulations and, in that way, I cannot accept the Senator’s amendment.

I move amendment No. 34: In page 60, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following: "(8A) Cameras operated by or on behalf of a road authority under this section shall not be equipped with facial recognition technology, and no data obtained using such cameras shall be processed by the road authority using facial recognition technology, or be passed to third parties for processing with facial recognition technology." I second the amendment.
