The European Union submitted comments during Australia's 2022 Privacy Act review consultation process, with correspondence showing the EU engaged constructively with the Attorney-General's Department's Privacy Act Review team between January and February 2022. The EU agreed to publication of its submission on the Department's website. Extensive redactions under section 22(1) of the Freedom of Information Act obscure the identities of named officials and substantive details of the EU's consultation comments, limiting visibility into the specific privacy policy positions discussed or any recommendations the EU advanced regarding Australian privacy legislation reform. The disclosed exchange demonstrates formal engagement on privacy law modernisation but provides minimal insight into the substance of EU-Australian dialogue on this issue.
