Farmers should retain data: forum - Agriculture - General - News - Farm Weekly

"The Productivity Commission had recommended a range of measures including comprehensive data rights for consumers and small businesses - including farms.

If implemented, Mr Keogh said, the recommendations would give farmers and others a right to check or retrieve any data held about them and to have some control over how that data was used.

'In many ways I personally think the debate about data rights and use is more important at present than debates about market consolidation,' Mr Keogh said."
