Its irrelevant whether the service is free or not, if you fall under the definition of a carrier/service provider in the Act and you are providing a relevant service you are required to collect metadata as defined in the Act.<BR>

The team from Internet Australia has since the very beginning submitted to and presented at the PJCIS and we have in collaboration with the Comms Alliance been working with the AGD. Unless you have been been living under a rock, you should also have been aware that we set up a Special Interest Group for ISPs to deal with the issues. Julian is in fact the State convener for Queensland. You're a little late to the party Noel. By all means contact the AGD directly as many of us have. But be aware of that fact that the Comms Alliance and Internet Australia have spent *significant* time ad effort trying to get this right. If you want to be a bit more constructive join the ISP SIG list and contribute there. <BR>

I find that impossible to believe given I am required to comply when I'm only providing a free usenet service.<BR>
<BR>
I think a lot of people here need to start contacting the AG's Dept, taking bad advice from a mailing list member will not be an excuse to avoid prosecution.<BR>
