"In the end, it's about privacy," says a law professor
"In the end, it's about privacy," says a law professor who says he is involved with anti-fraud group Privacy International. "We're concerned about the impact [the new law] will have on the ability to engage in a fair and responsible online marketplace."
The move is expected to be approved by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's cabinet within the next few days.
However, privacy campaigners and privacy advocates are concerned that the new law is likely to become a huge blow for the government's new digital privacy initiative.
"It's going to drive up the cost of the new data collection for all travellers to NZ and to the entire country from the point of view of the government and the privacy advocates," says Bill Lautenberg, director of the privacy group Privacy International. "When people are subjected to this invasive, intrusive and invasive collection which will be so pervasive for the rest of the year, it's a huge blow to the privacy of all travellers to New Zealand, and to New Zealanders as well."
According to a report in The Guardian on Tuesday, the fine could be up to NZ$5,000 ($3,200 for a second or subsequent entry) for non-citizens who refuse the procedure.
However, experts say that the increased cost for some travellers is likely to make the system more difficult to understand, and that privacy advocates are concerned that it may also mean more problems for New Zealand's most vulnerable.
"It's very likely that they won't be able to pay for it or they won't be able to find other ways in which to avoid having to pay," says a privacy advocate who has worked for a number of companies in the area.When it comes to the most important issue facing the people of the North Carolina General Assembly, the same problem is not necessarily being addressed. The political party structure is not keeping pace with real change. It is making a lot of noise, but it is not changing anything. It is making a lot of demands for change.
We need to do a better job of making sure North Carolina is not an isolated case. It is an example of what is possible when you are a nation of states, and you are willing to take on all of the big issues facing the state. It is a great example of how to build a truly united government.
We need to take our power out to the people. This is something we can all be proud of.Carmen Sperling is one of the world's leading experts on transgender
