Australia’s outgoing human rights commissioner has sounded the alarm about Australia “sliding into mass surveillance” if it continues to embrace the use of facial recognition technology. Edward Santow also criticised governments using the spectre of terrorism to pass broad laws that infringe on Australians’ privacy and end up being used for other purposes.
These remarks come after the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) published a long-awaited report on human rights and technology in Australia. It took the significant step of recommending a temporary ban on the use of biometric technologies like facial recognition in areas of decision-making that are considered high-risk, such as by law enforcement or for government services.

Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins has urged the Morrison government to lower the threshold for outlawing sexist conduct and expressly require employers to eliminate sexual harassment at work, championing the latter as a âpowerful toolâ for systemic change.
Ms Jenkins has told a Senate inquiry into the governmentâs anti-sexual harassment bill that the proposed legislation does not reflect all the recommendations in her Respect@Work report and that further changes âcan and should be made nowâ.
Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins says âconduct that debases or degrades another person is already sufficiently serious to warrant prohibitionâ.Â
