AUSTRALIAN PRIVACY AMENDMENT BILL. The Privacy Legislation Amendment (Enforcement and Other Measures) Bill 2022 has now passed both houses of Parliament, and will be presented to the Governor General for assent. The amendment adds substantial penalties for serious or repeated breaches of the Australian Privacy Act.

Domain Name Disputes
With the recent introduction of "direct registration" in the Australian domain name space (e.g. anyone with a connection to Australia can register domain names such as lawprofessor.au or telstra.au), I predict that there will be a sudden uptick of auDRP disputes. Even though .au did not launch until October 2022, as at today, three auDRP complaints have already been lodged: cointre.au, rockypoint.au and magnaflow.au.
Some law firms are specialising in this area, such as Cooper Mills.
