Monash University professor of cyber security Nigel Phair told 3AW Breakfast hosts Ross Stevenson and Russel Howcroft he did not think a ban was feasible.

“I really don’t know how we are going to, as a society as a whole, tackle this,” he said.

Human rights lawyer Lizzie O’Shea told 3AW Mornings host Tom Elliott producers of smart glasses have some responsibility to protect privacy and personal data.
