1. COVID-19 v Your Rights to Privacy (Monday 1 June)
Old certainties about the balance between data protection and conflicting rights have been lost to the pandemic.
The community is accepting unprecedented restrictions on freedoms and closer surveillance in the name of public health. Trust in science and government has been critical to the community acceptance.
In this webinar, a privacy regulator, a legal practitioner, an IT and security expert, and a legal academic will consider what lessons can be learned from the sudden surge in the digitalisation of our lives and how regulation should adapt when we return to the new normal.
Date: Monday 1 June
Time: 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

Join this panel of experts to be part of a wide-ranging exploration of emerging problems and possible solutions in the area of family violence.

3. A Trumpwork Orange: Fair Use and International Copyright Claims (Tuesday 9 June)
