Good reading, but I cannot agree with the definition of PII is clear cut.
  Rather *any* information pertaining to an identifiable individual is
extremely vague.  And when they want us to try to 'secure' information that
is already 'public', we have to scratch our heads and wonder.
But at least he admits that there are tradeoffs.  The law (or a typical
organization's policy) does not seem to understand that.

Disclaimer: definitely not speaking for my employer.

Thanks, Stephane. 

The article is excellent in discussing the intersection of privacy issues and 
ICT. However, [o]nline and in privacy law alike, things are very crisp. Maybe 
they are in Australia. However,  one of the big challenges in the privacy space 
is that definitions of PI, PII, and similar acronymed (word?) concepts vary 
widely and may not be spelled at all in some jurisdictions.

I find it curious that Mr. Wilson makes such a categorical statement in this 
article while linking to another post where he discusses definitional 
uncertainties. http://lockstep.com.au/blog/2013/09/27/pii-or-not-pii. It was 
worthwhile following his links to get a full picture.
