Ask HN: Do government's need to adhere to GDPR

1 pointsby brodalmost 7 years ago
Out of dozens of privacy policy updates which companies have been releasing I haven&#x27;t seen a single one from my Government or Government services (Centrelink for example) - which got me thinking, does (and or should) GDPR apply to governments? I&#x27;m Australian but if I was a dual citizen (with the EU) could I request the Australian Government send me a copy of all the data they&#x27;ve collected on me?<p>The OIAC says it&#x27;s complicated[1] and don&#x27;t suggest individual agencies should seek their own legal advice.<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.oaic.gov.au&#x2F;agencies-and-organisations&#x2F;faqs-for-agencies-orgs&#x2F;government-agencies&#x2F;does-the-eu-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr-apply-to-australian-government-agencies
