Question 1

In question 1, the author inquired to highlight the role of Department of Community Wellbeing to be responsible for Billy's conduct and also breaching Information Privacy Principle 11 of the Privacy Act 1988. According to the author, somehow the department is responsible for the Billy's conduct because the department employees were responsible for highlighting Billy's negative image and during this process; the department also breached the confidential information to the outsiders.
