“We appreciate and respect the States wish to explore amendments to the law. Our responsibility is to independently enforce the law that is before us. P&R were found to have breached the law by withholding information the jobseeker was entitled to. Data protection law exists to safeguard people’s rights over information about them. We hope that any future amendments preserve a balance that allows people to validate whether accurate information about them is shared with prospective employers. This is important as it avoid risks associated with decisions made based on inaccurate information.”
