Apparently, Bunnings have my face on-file. I don’t think I like that.

No thanks to the federal government beefing up privacy legislation.
I wonder what percentage of Australians will have stepped into a Bunnings over the past three years? It has to be above 90% of us, right? That’s pretty close to a record of us all.
It’s all wesfarmers, and i’m pretty fucking sure that shit doesn’t stop at bunnings stores.
It’s only 63 stores though. Not all of them
It is now rolled out to all Bunnings stores. So now when you steal something they don’t apprehend you, they store the footage and once you steal enough to get the cops involved they dump all that footage on the cops desk. People think they get away with stealing, time says otherwise.
“Protection against organised crime” my arse you could give the fucking cops footage of someone breaking into your house and raping your hamster while shouting their full name and address and they still wouldn’t do shit.
This is about floggable data
I don’t think they were asking the cops to do anything, they just were refusing people service.
But I agree with your conclusion. If they weren’t using the data for commercial reasons, they were using it as a deniable trial to see what they could get away with.
Fucking Coles is using Palantir and has their checkout face cameras, so I suspect in the wake of this we’ll hear more about this sort of thing with other companies.
So ahhh, the massive fine?
Did they even get a wrist slap?
Does anyone know whether they published the ordered statement and where?
Article says they’ve got 30 days to publish it, and also that they’re planning to appeal, so that might delay it further.
