[AusNOG] Fwd: PJCIS report on data retention bill has been posted

[Paul Wilkins]

Currently per black letter law interpretation of 187A2 means everything at
all layers of the IP/TCP stack is required to be logged (because the
paragraph relies on the definition of 'communication' as defined in the
Telecommunications Act 1997, which is not appropriate to packet switched
networks).

Then 187A4 grants exemptions, but it's poorly drafted, and doesn't read as
if it was written by someone with an understanding of packet switched
networks. Para 187A4 is, imo (ianal) too ambiguous currently, and can be
argued to exempt nothing or everything, as applied to packet switched
networks.
