Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Data-driven political campaigning is widely recognised as a threat to privacy and democratic processes. However, accounts of what voter privacy is, why it matters, and how it is threatened by data-driven campaigning vary. This conceptual confusion pervades Australian law. This thesis presents an updated theory of voter privacy and its democratic value for the data-driven age. It reveals the inadequate conceptions of voter privacy which underpin Australian privacy and electoral law and sets out options for law reform which are grounded in an understanding of voter privacy as a collective interest essential to the social aspects of democratic decision-making.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
