"Metadata" could be anything. Specifics would be useful before
the bill is passed, if that's not asking too much.<br>

Paul - you are asking the wrong forum. Send a request to Sen.
Brandis & the Minister for the specifics - they have them, the
AusNOG community doesn't yet.<br>
<br>
Better still, if everyone sent a request for the specifics,
highlighting your own aspect of the suspected specifics that could
not be complied with (Skype destination, or email details if you
don't run an email server, or any of the other things that has been
griped about on this list).......<br>
