Project Description

This project examines trends in surveillance and tracking of individuals in Australia, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. It asks whether such surveillance measures are likely to be compatible with Australia's international human rights obligations (or the Victorian Charter), and whether/how the compatibility assessment would change if the measures were to persist beyond the current crisis.
