flag Bunnings can restart facial recognition in stores, tribunal rules, citing crime prevention despite privacy breaches.

flag The Administrative Review Tribunal has ruled that Bunnings can resume using facial recognition technology in its stores, finding the practice justified for preventing serious retail crime and protecting staff and customers, despite breaching privacy laws by failing to properly notify customers. flag While the tribunal agreed the company violated transparency rules, it determined the use of FRT was proportionate and necessary, especially given frequent incidents of violence and theft. flag The decision highlights ongoing tensions between public safety and privacy, with digital rights advocates warning of risks from mass surveillance and biased technology. flag The OAIC, which initially found the use unlawful, is reviewing the ruling, as appeals remain possible.
