Subject: [AusNOG] Abbott concedes journalism warrants to push through Data Retention this week

Abbott has conceded a warrant process for access to journalists records, so preempting any need for an inquiry into the ramifications of data retention for the media.
If Abbott gets his way, Data Retention will pass the lower house this week.
