[Chapter-delegates] Law enforcement and interception etc

[Narelle Clark President ISOC-AU]

Hi Babu

you and others may be interested in the following report handed down
yesterday from the Australian government's Joint Committee on Intelligence
and Security.

The inquiry was launched last year on a range of issues from interception
legislation, interception warrants to forced retention of
telecommunications data (metadata) and whether or not the existing four
pieces of legislation should be changed. Some of you will recall I have
been following it very closely and appeared before the inquiry.

The report can be found here:
http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/House_of_Representatives_Committees?url=pjcis/nsl2012/report.htm

It is quite lengthy - 321p and maps out the range of options open to the
government, but pieces can be downloaded separately.

In some ways it is quite reassuring to see parliamentary processes working
well, but I am sure there is a sting there somewhere!
