New association will sit under the ADMA umbrella
A new industry association is seeking to bring order to data chaos for advertisers and media partners through the creation of an industry code of conduct for the collection, use and management of data in Australia.
Data Governance Australia (DGA) will establish best practice industry standards and benchmarks, as well as advocacy, education, support and thought leadership on all aspects of data usage.
Speaking at the association’s launch in Melbourne, DGA chairman and former ACCC chair, Graeme Samuel, said a priority for the DGA would be to create a voluntary code of conduct to allow the industry to self-regulate.
He warned that failing to do so might have led to government intervention, with the possible result of government over-reach that would hinder the growth of the industry. He cited recent controversy regarding the massive breach of customer records at Yahoo! and controversy regarding the collection and retention of personal information by the ABS as two examples of why such an initiative was now needed.
The DGA will operate as a part of ADMA, under general manager, Murray Hyde. Its board is comprised of 12 representatives from a cross-section of industries, including financial institutions, retailers, law firms, real estate corporations, airlines, and specialist data suppliers including Quantium, Woolworths, Qantas Loyalty and Flybuys.

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
