One is the right to privacy and protection from unreasonable search and seizure (although I doubt these are provided under Australian law).
The other is the right to groom.

It's not unreasonable search nor is it a violation of your privacy. People that scream about "privacy laws" rarely have any clue on what privacy really is because they're just too lazy to follow very simple procedures. You gotta stop getting your law information from watching today tonight.
Would you prefer that they adopt the airlines new "3d xray" scanners at their stores? I wouldn't.
Being a stuck up a-hole about people seeing if you have their goods in your bag is as an essential liberty as nail clippers on a plane.

I worked in retail and a few years back and undercover security caught this lady shoplifting. We dragged her back to the manager's office and asked her to remove the contents of her bag. In it were cans of tuna and a bag of peanuts. Now this lady didn't look like a stereotypical shoplifter, in fact she looked like an upperclass snob, probably about mid-60s, dressed in a fur-like coat, pearl necklace, nice jewellery and a Louis Vutton handbag. When we asked her if there was a reason she had taken the items without paying for them she replied, "This is a joke, I demand to call my lawyer", to which my store manager replied, "The only joke I can see here is a lady who obviously has the means to pay for this, is instead shoplifting" after which she shut right up until the police arrived at the store and took her away. Most times I visit a store I'm lugging around my daughter with a backpack with her stuff it in, and her in my arms yet even I know and understand that stores will still have to check bags as part of store procedure. I don't even get angry or upset because they are doing their jobs. And most times I offer to let them check too even though I'm carrying her in my arms and have to put her down and open my backpack. If I don't have a problem with it, I don't see why anyone else would. It is store policy for most stores that bags need to be checked so unless you have a problem with that, I'd suggest you find another outlet to grab your stuff from.

While I would love to discuss the merits of this intelligently and unemotionally, I don't think that's possible with you MV75.

The toys r us at knox city only ever has one register open, even when there's twenty people waiting to be served. Once i walked over to a register with two girls standing around talking about thier weekend, and they ignored me for about a minute, and then said "sorry, this register is closed" TRANSFORMERS PURCHASES HAVE PRIORITY OVER YOUR WEEKEND DISCUSSION!
