"Privacy Act 1988 APP 8 cross-border disclosure reasonable-steps duty"
Before an APP entity discloses personal information to an overseas recipient, APP 8.1 requires the entity to take reasonable steps in the circumstances to ensure the recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles, except APP 1, unless an APP 8.2 exception applies.
This is a human-established fact, not a universal axiom. It is true within CTH as enacted by Federal Register of Legislation.

Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) Schedule 1 APP 8.1 requires an APP entity, before disclosing personal information about an individual to an overseas recipient who is not in Australia or an external Territory and is not the entity or individual, to take reasonable steps in the circumstances to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles other than APP 1 in relation to the information. APP 8.2 contains exceptions, including substantially similar overseas protection with accessible enforcement, informed consent, Australian-law/court authorisation, permitted general situations, and specified agency disclosures. Official source checked: Federal Register of Legislation, Privacy Act 1988 current text, Schedule 1 APP 8.1-8.2. Dogfood note: Source search for APP 8 cross-border disclosure did not surface a native Privacy Act row and instead ranked unrelated CTH material and existing proposed topics.
