“Minister must share Privacy Act report with Parliament”

The responsible Minister has to give a copy of a report to the House of Representatives. This report is about how the Privacy Act 2020 is working. The Minister needs to do this as soon as they can after they get the report. The report comes from section 17(1)(n)(iv) of the Act. This means that when the Privacy Commissioner gives the Minister a report about how the Act is working, the Minister must share it with the House of Representatives quickly.
