Here it is. Black and white. Privacy Act 1993, Section 6, principle 5



               Storage and security of personal information

   An agency that holds personal information shall ensure---
   (a) That the information is protected, by such security safeguards as
         it is reasonable in the circumstances to take, against---
           (i) Loss; and
           (ii) Access, use, modification, or disclosure, except with the
         authority of the agency that holds the information; and
           (iii) Other misuse; and
   (b) That if it is necessary for the information to be given to a
         person in connection with the provision of a service to the
         agency, everything reasonably within the power of the agency is
         done to prevent unauthorised use or unauthorised disclosure of
         the information.


I'll forward it to the CPIT privacy officer, and let y'all know.

Cheers,
Carl.
