Person must not be required to provide personal identifiers in a cruel, inhuman or degrading way etc.
For the purposes of this Act, a requirement to provide a personal identifier, or the provision of a personal identifier, in a particular way under section 257A is not of itself taken: (a) to be cruel, inhuman or degrading; or (b) to be a failure to treat a person with humanity and with respect for human dignity. However, nothing in this Act authorises the Minister or an officer to require a person to provide a personal identifier under section 257A in a cruel, inhuman or degrading way, or in a way that fails to treat the person with humanity and with respect for human dignity.
