This is the best summary I could come up with:

The government has merely “noted” – not accepted – 10 recommendations including to provide individuals with “an unqualified opt-out of receiving targeted advertising”, and the proposals to narrow the political exemption to the Privacy Act.

That decision will leave people exposed to “misleading” tactics including political parties or campaigns offering to facilitate postal votes in order to harvest their information, which the Australian Electoral Commission has complained about during the Indigenous voice referendum.

It agreed in principle that entities should be prohibited from targeting individuals based on sensitive information – such as race or sexual orientation – unless it is socially beneficial content.

Media companies had complained this could expose them to nuisance complaints or fishing expeditions designed to frustrate newsgathering by the subjects of public interest journalism.

Currently, most small businesses with an annual turnover of $3m or less are exempt from the Privacy Act and have no obligation to keep personal information secure or to notify affected individuals in the event of a data breach.

The government agreed in principle to remove this exemption, although the department recommended that an impact analysis, transition period and support package should be provided first.

Since only our users are affected and not our customers, we don’t consider it serious. /s

They are doing it for the money. Privacy is just an excuse.
