Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation down to the jency no matter
answer the pub test where everything is working fine.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Bunnings cameras do they pass the pub test? Well?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Bunnings has been found to have breached privacy laws by
using facial recognition technology on its customers. They say they
are doing this to keep their staff safe. Staff are
being abused. They can now put people on the register,
not the cash register. Who are who are people that
they don't want to come into the shop. Bunnings have
said that if your facial recognition data doesn't match up

(00:33):
with the people that they're chasing, it'll be deleted with
an average of four point one seven milliseconds. But civil
libertarians are saying this is kind of the thin edge
of the wedge. People's images are being recorded without them
being aware, and are they going to be used for
marketing purposes, etc.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
So what do you think Bunning's cameras do pass the
pub test?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yes? It does. I have no problems with Bunnings doing that.
We need to protect the workers. We need to look
at the society. It's easier as need to be pressed
the prosecute them. I need to be protected. Why should
I get smacked in the face or pushed over or whatever.
Only support Bunnings.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
It does if they do it the right way. They're
a big company, so they know right from wrong, so
they should let people be aware that they are being photographed. Definitely. Yes,
for the shaking of the workers against.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
The people who are doing the wrong thing.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
I believe we should have it in all workplaces. No,
it doesn't pass the pub test. The issue is they
haven't been transparent. They should have obtained permission from customers.
That's the bottom line.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yes, I just think that the only people that are
being to worry the criminals.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
If it was Eldie, I'll be worried because I buy
some weed stuff there. But hey, it's Bunny's okay, what's
what's the problem. It's just Bunny.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
It's just Bunny. Only your facial recognition ends up in China.
Much fair enough weed stuff that they have it now,
I know what you're get to, mister Gaspo bottle in
a pack of the tim Tans.
