21  Meaning of protected information

  Relevant information is protected information if:

 (a) it is personal information; or

 (b) it is information (including commercially sensitive information) the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to found an action by an entity (other than the Commonwealth) for breach of a duty of confidence.

Note: Under the Privacy Act 1988, sensitive information (within the meaning of that Act) may be personal information. Information is not personal information if it is only about a person who has died.
