Plenty of media coverage in the last few days about the latest discussion paper issued by the Federal Government's Consumer and Privacy Task Force concerning the inclusion of voluntary and medical emergency information on the consumer-control area of the proposed Access Card.
The paper includes plenty of cautionary notes about what could happen if certain information is included, but at this stage it's seeking comment about storage and related issues, before final decisions are taken.
