Why no Privacy Act in WA[edit]

Why is there no Privacy Act in Western Australia and how is this legally possible?101.168.170.155 (talk) 23:09, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a lawyer, but I presume that there is no need for a specific WA Act, because the Privacy Act 1988 is a Commonwealth Act and so applies to the entire country (that presumably being what Section 4 means). Mitch Ames (talk) 13:28, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
