    Attorney General Ian Scott stated to the standing committee reviewing the bill that lead to the enactment of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act:
    So there are three standards and, unless you can meet one of those, any collection of personal information is unlawful . . . One of the critical features of this act is that it says, unless you meet one of these three tests, it is unlawful even to collect it.
