“It is appalling this level of violence,” the 3AW Drive host said.

“If my kids were next to me when some of these attacks occurred, I would be hysterical, in fact, even if they weren’t I would be hysterical.”

Managing director at Bunnings, Michael Schneider, then said the company is “incredibly disappointed” with the findings from the Privacy Commissioner and explained why they implemented the facial recognition technology.

The Bunnings boss then stated the footage released by the company is “heartbreaking” and leaves the workers involved with “emotional scars”.
