My guess is that Amazon is constrained by US law,

There’s only 54,000 reasons why the NSW Govt and Commonwealth Need to do anything?

But 1.6million reasons might be more compelling.

Intimate data about the private lives of millions of Australians will be analysed and monetised in a partnership between a New Zealand company and a subsidiary of the world’s biggest retailer, Amazon.

NZ company Vector and Amazon Web Services have a deal to collect, analyse and sell data from 1.6 million Australian electricity meters

For the Electricity Smart Meter deal, supposedly no personal identity information is involved. Although it would seem less useful to be selling aggregated anonymised data than my property meter number or street name or suburb or supply line number or …?

Exactly what is anonymised is not mentioned.
