retention decision <o:p></o:p></p><p>JAMES HUTCHINSON<o:p></o:p></p><p>A long-awaited decision on whether the federal government should implement a mandatory data retention regime has been sidelined by a parliamentary committee tasked to look at the contentious matter.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>The joint intelligence and security committee, which was tasked by former Attorney-general Nicola Roxon in May last year to consider security reform, said that whether a regime should be put in place was “ultimately a decision for government”.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>The regime was one of 44 proposals put forward by the Attorney-General’s Department and security agencies last year as the committee looked at whether to reform national security legislation.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>If put in place, it would force telecommunications companies like Telstra to hold metadata like phone call records and IP addresses on Australians for up to two years.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>Federal, state and local government agencies accessed metadata more than 300,000 times during the last financial year, but agencies have argued that this type of information is increasingly unavailable.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>The proposal attracted the ire of civil liberties groups and the Greens, which argued that the warrantless system infringed on the privacy of Australian citizens.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>Though the committee did not make a decision on the matter, it urged the government to publish draft legislation on the proposal that would ensure that security agencies are unable to access the actual content of communications without a warrant.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>It also said any legislation should ban agency access to internet browsing data like website addresses, and that the government should reimburse telecommunications companies for the cost of establishing such a system; a key sticking point for companies like iiNet.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>More to come<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>from:<o:p></o:p></p><p><a
