[AusNOG] Metadata retention... it's now (almost) a thing

[Paul Wilkins]

"The government is yet to define metadata, with Attorney-General George
Brandis "failing spectacularly" at an explanation on Sky News

though it's expected the introduced bill will spell that out. Mr Brandis
had said the government wanted telcos to store "web addresses" under the
scheme, but this was later contradicted by Communications Minister Malcolm
Turnbull who ruled it out."

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