Selected APF Papers Sorted by Jurisdiction

Selected papers and submissions published by the Foundation (1987-), and by its sibling organisation the Australian Privacy Charter Council (1994-2002).

This document lists paper sorted by jurisdiction.

The primary index lists the papers in chronological order, most recent first.

A companion document lists them by policy topic.

This index reflects work undertaken by the APF during the 20 years to 31 May 2007, but concentrating on the last 10 years's work. Recent efforts are now also reflected on the Campaigns pages, by topic. The APF has a Policy on Speakers Fees for Conferences and Seminars.
