The$$Data Availability and Transparency Bill $2022$was$$passed $30$ March in Australia, and it sets out a new data sharing scheme and relevant regulations for the sharing of public sector data.$$Most relevant to the topic at hand, it includes a prohibition on re$-$identifying public sector data shared under the act.$$Clause $16$A$(3)$states $"$If data that has been de$-$identified is shared, the data sharing agreement that covers the sharing must prohibit the accredited user from taking any action that may have the result that the data ceases to be de$-$identified."$$While penalties for breaching the act are more commonly civil, they can become criminal offences if the breach is considered reckless or malicious.

What are the implications of this new law to criminalise certain types of re$-$identification of data?$$
