So the consultation paper has leaked [1], and it says data retention will 
apply to "all entities that provide communications services available in 
Australia" and while it won't require destination IP addresses or URLs, it 
will require NAT records to be kept.

Just which entities provide communication services isn't defined, but at a 
guess it could include hosting providers and univerisities.
