17A Objective of Part

The objective of this Part is to recognise that—

(a) the collection of information about the location or movement of people during the COVID-19 pandemic plays a vital role in protecting people from serious illness and death, and

(b) people are generally compelled to provide the information under extraordinary powers that have been invoked because of the pandemic, and

(c) people expect the information provided will be used only for the purposes of protecting them from the pandemic, and

(d) inappropriate use or disclosure of the information may increase the circumstances in which information is not provided and consequently increase the risk of serious illness or death.
