As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.
Two gongs for @ICOnews in this years honours list - a first for the organisation. Well done to Paul and Nicky.
Given the way your husband was so shabbily treated by the British spooks, I hope you have more success in obtaining an appropriate security clearance from the Australian intelligence agencies.
The lack of time offered to stakeholders and parliamentarians to consider the proposals indicate an astonishing level of contempt for the traditional consultative process.

👑The #KingsSpeech revealed plans to add yet more spying powers to the Snoopers' Charter.
"The Government says it will give them the power to veto private tech companies' privacy and security features. Such powers would be more extreme than even the world's most despotic regimes.

Browsing through the list of accredited trainers for IAPP certifications, I was bemused to see this outfit which calls itself Privacy Matters. They should not be confused with the great Pat Walshe, whose @PrivacyMatters tweets have educated & entertained us for many years.
This ‘new investigation’ probably adds little to the list of concerns that @PrivacyMatters has been raising with opinion formers within the European Parliament during the last 19 years – at Deal, England
1/ In approx 2004 I attended a meeting in the @Europarl_EN along with @DataProtector
The meeting was about mobile location privacy (think 3G) & whether new regulation was needed. I expressly discussed the data credit/debit card companies collect &

Congratulations on producing a 23 page report outlining the views of 12 young people… – at Deal, England
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) commissioned the British Youth Council (BYC) to recruit and deliver a focus group with 12 young people (between 15 and 17 years of age) on the topic of biometrics. See ico.org.uk/media/about-the-i….

I'm thinking of starting a new business - selling rarely used vintage data protection clothing - like these old jackets!
Nothing to be concerned about here. It’s just the end of a long turf war where the Home Office’s commissioner has lost out. The Home Office isn’t having much luck on any front these days.
R Jenrick isn’t someone people take seriously. He’ll be forgotten soon enough.
