68 Publicly available information
(1) The IPPs (other than IPP 1 (Collection) and IPP 3 (Data quality)) do
not apply in relation to personal information that:
(a) is published in a publication (which may be an electronic
publication) generally available to members of the public; or
(b) is on a public register, except to the extent specified in
subsection (2); or
(c) is in an archive available to the public under Part 9, Division 4
(Managing archives); or
(d) is recorded information of permanent value that forms part of
the Territory Archives but is not a record; or
(e) is in a collection of a library, art gallery or museum if the
collection is on public exhibition or is available to the public for
reference or study purposes.
(2) A public register is to be kept in compliance with the IPPs to the
extent that it is reasonably practicable to do so given the
requirements imposed by or under an Act for keeping the register
and making it available for public inspection.
