    If Privacy is Increasing for My Health Record data, it Should Apply to all Medical Records
    Prictor, M ; Hemsley, B ; Taylor, M ; McCarthy, S (The Conversation Media Group, 2018)
    In response to the public outcry against the potential for My Health Record data to be shared with police and other government agencies, Health Minister Greg Hunt recently announced moves to change the legislation. The laws underpinning the My Health Record as well as records kept by GPs and private hospitals currently allow those records to be shared with the police, Centrelink, the Tax Office and other government departments if it’s “reasonably necessary” for a criminal investigation or to protect tax revenue. If passed, the policy of the Digital Health Agency (which runs the My Health Record) not to release information without a court order will become law. This would mean the My Health Record has greater privacy protections than other medical records, which doesn’t make much sense.

    Who Owns Your DNA?
    Greenbaum, D ; Gerstein, M (Elsevier BV, 2016-04)
    When you’re clipping your nails or having a haircut, do you think about who owns those samples of your genetic material? Perhaps you think it doesn’t really matter, or that because it comes from your body, you own it. In fact, legally, the answer is far more complex.
