“ Our government is entrusted to secure that data on behalf of every Australian . On the other hand , as individual citizens , we make the choice to share – or not – our personal data with private enterprises . These decisions are ours to make .
“ With government data , the decisions on where and how sovereign data is stored and protected is the responsibility of government .”
