The Privacy Commissioner has publicly released her submission on the proposed Do Not Call Register (pdf).
The proposal was previously discussed here.
The Privacy Commissioner strongly supports establishing an effective ‘Do Not Call’ register. "The Office sees this as a first step towards consideration of a more comprehensive ‘Do Not Contact’ register that would cover all forms of unwanted contact."
The paper discusses whether the register should be opt-in or opt-out, offshore initiated calls, automated calls, dual purpose calls and possible exemptions.
