Submission to DTA Position Papers on Digital Identity Legislation

Communications Alliance provided a submission in response to five Position Papers released for comment by the Digital Transformation Office (DTA). The DTA sought comment on its positions in relation to the proposed new Digital Identity Legislation.
The submission provides high-level feedback on the following matters:
  • Concerns around a lacking focus on security-by-design and identity fraud;
  • Seeks further clarification around liability provisions;
  • Urges to postpone the development of the privacy regime of the new legislation until after the review of the Privacy Act 1988 has been completed; and
  • Urges to limit the Ministerial rule making powers and to include mandatory consultation requirements prior to Ministerial instruments being made.
