"The current landscape in Australia includes Federal and state information privacy legislation, some sector-specific privacy legislation at state level, regulation of the media and some criminal sanctions. Regarding civil causes of action for invasion of privacy, however, the current position in Australia is unclear. There have been some indications by the courts that a tort of invasion of privacy may exist in Australia. The Australian Law Reform Commission has recommended the enactment of a statutory cause of action for invasion of privacy."〔"Invasion of privacy : Penalties and remedies : Review of the law of privacy : Stage 3" (2009) (Issues paper 14), New Zealand Law Commission, ISBN 978-1-877316-67-8, (2009 NZIP 14 ) accessed 27 August 2011; see also ''Hosking v Runting'' () NZCA 34 (NZLII ) accessed 8 August 2014.〕
