I've previously mentioned, I think, that I got blocked from posting to
the Service NSW Facebook page.

At the time, I submitted a GIPA request for the records of why I was
blocked, and by whom.

Service NSW responded that no such records were kept.

So then I made a complaint to Service NSW about their processes relating
to blocking people from the Facebook page. After a long period of
hearing nothing back, I escalated the complaint to the NSW Ombudsman.

Following that I received a response from Service NSW saying that I was
blocked for violating their social medial guidelines.

Er, but hang on - you said there aren't any records. So you don't know
why I was blocked.

I think they just make this stuff up as they go along. I can't believe
that they fell into such an obvious trap.

I may have to ask NCAT to allow me to seek review of the GIPA response
out of time, on the basis that Service NSW are contradicting themselves.

While not storing *details* of such cancellations, a listing of user names still exists.

Or they would not know whose posts to cancel ....

They know that I'm blocked. But now they're saying they know why I'm
blocked when they previously said they don't keep records.

Nothing in particular now. What appears to have got me blocked was
asking when the government would legislate so that information obtained
from Covid-19 QR code scanning could not be given to the police for
other purposes. Admittedly, I asked more than once.

They don’t need to keep records to see why you were blocked,
all they need is your shit that got you blocked, fuckwit.

They can tell the truth. If they have records as to the reasons they
block people, then they should admit that in response to a GIPA request,
as they are legally required to do.

If they do not, then they should not claim that they do in response to a
complaint about the absence of oversight of their social media accounts.

What they should not do is respond in ways that are contradictory. That
just annoys people.

You're entirely right.

Service NSW appear to want to pull the wool under people's eyes in this case.

You did the right thing to lodge a GIPA enquiry. It is not a waste of public resources - it is their job to justify their existence.

Well done!

** If no law prevents.

The police would be delighted to have access to a database giving the location of every citizen at various times per day.
They could potentially make thousands of arrests based on that info.
Egs:

People breaching AVOs and bail conditions.
People driving with no license.
People who overstay their Visas.

As far as I can see, nothing prevents it. Service NSW claims that the
information is deleted after 28 days, and this may be true, but that's
still plenty of time for it to be of use to the police.

In addition to the things suggested by Phil, if some crime is committed
in a place, people who were near that place could find themselves
dragged into an investigation of a crime they have nothing to do with.

The law in WA was changed to prevent the police from accessing the data:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-15/safewa-app-sparks-urgent-law-change-after-police-access-data/100201340

What is the status of the law in NSW and in other states?

In theory the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act should
prevent it, but as one of my recent losses before NCAT showed, the Act
presents a very low bar to access.

Subsection 23(4) provides:

"A public sector agency (whether or not a law enforcement agency) is not
required to comply with section 17 if the use of the information
concerned for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was
collected is reasonably necessary for law enforcement purposes or for
the protection of the public revenue."

Where "reasonably necessary" is actually construed as "reasonably
adapted to".

I don't think the Act would present much of an obstacle in practice.

Thanks for the link. I hadn't heard about that. Just goes to show that
my concern was not unreasonable.

> What is the status of the law in NSW and in other states?

In NSW, I think we'd see police do the same thing if the situation
arose. Given that the response to my asking whether NSW would legislate
in the way that WA has had to, was to boot me out of their Service NSW
Facebook page, I doubt we'd see the same legislation in NSW.

It doesn’t do anything like that.

Bullshit, because those doing that aren't going to do QR code scanning.

More mindless bullshit. They are legally fine to be passengers.

More mindless bullshit. Doesn’t tell the cops where they live.
