Hello,
Does anyone know if the tax departments or banks can view your accounts online (like you view internet banking, transaction history and balances). Obviously banks can view your accounts with them i mean is their any way they can view your accounts with other banks?
I know for example when you apply for a loan or credit card you sign some sort of privacy waiver, does this give the bank the right to do this?
Obviously the ATO/Centrelink etc can get these records but surely their is a process (a court order?) they cant just snoop?
A friend was telling me he was watching a show (7.30 report. ACA?) where the people (ATO/Banks/Centrelink??? he was a bit unclear) were simpily and easily accessing peoples accounts to check if they where telling the truth which is a bit concerning if its that easy they could just be snooping about anything.
Watch out big brother is watching you!
Cheers,
