AIIA submission to senate enquiry on “Encryption Bill”
Last Friday the AIIA put forward two submissions to the senate enquiry on this important issue. The first is a joint industry submission with Communications Alliance and the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) and the second an AIIA separate submission fleshing out members concerns.
AIIA is extremely concerned that the rushed processes coupled with the lack of transparency will mean that fundamental issues such as privacy erosion and lack of judicial review will not be addressed.
Look out for the submissions on our website.

AIIA joint submission on Consumer Data Right
The AIIA again joined forces with Communications Alliance and the Digital Industry Group to put forward an industry wide position on this important issue to the Australian
Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) on the Consumer Data Right Rules Framework
(Rules Framework) and to the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) on the revised Exposure Draft
and provisions for further consultation of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Consumer Data Right) Bill
2018.
Look out for the submission on our website.

AIIA submission on Australia’s national waste policy
Last week the AIIA’s Environment Special Interest Group put forward a submission to help shape Australia’s waste policy.
From industry’s experience with pervious schemes, the updated National Waste Policy won’t be able to be all things to all people. If the government proposes to go ahead with board targets it is critical that they articulate how it will be relevant to, and, how it will apply to, individual industries.
Members are also concerned that the policy seems overly focused on packaging with the presumption that it will achieve the goal of a circular economy without clearly articulating how the proposed strategies will go about doing this.
