At a meeting of the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG) in August 2005, Ministers agreed that all State and Territory officers would work in consultation to develop options for reform to address the issue of unauthorised publication of photographs being made available on websites.

The issue of unauthorised photographs on the Internet was highlighted recently when a number of unauthorised photographs of children were posted on voyeuristic websites.

Submissions are due by 14 October 2005.
