Status Tracked

Used facial recognition technology in its stores; the Administrative Review Tribunal departed from the OAIC's finding that the collection itself was unlawful but affirmed the notice and governance breaches, and the Privacy Commissioner said on 5 March 2026 that no appeal had been filed. Bunnings says it has not used the technology since its trial ended in November 2021 and is preparing to introduce it across its Australian stores.

The 12 names most often in the same articles as Bunnings. A line's weight, and the number by each name, is how many articles name both. Grey chords join the neighbours most often named together themselves (two articles or more). Circles are people and organisations, squares are mechanisms. Named together is all this shows: it is not a finding about what the relationship is.

How this page is assembled. The name, status and role are the desk's entity record. The article list, case counts, and connections are read by script from the published articles that name Bunnings. A connection is a name that appears in the same articles; it is not a finding about the relationship. Under How we know, the sources are those articles' references, counted once each and tiered only where the desk declared a tier; a grade beside an article is its weakest headline finding, shown only where every headline finding is graded. The page is rebuilt when an article is published or changed.
