[AusNOG] Metadata defined in the bill

[I]

Reading the bill it seems the terminology is a problem.

Their use of metadata has nothing to do with what's in the header of an email for example.

The definition is at 187AA which says:-

(2) The kinds of information prescribed for the purposes of 22 paragraph (1)(a) must

relate to one or more of the following 23 matters: 24

(a) characteristics of any of the following: 25

(i) the subscriber of a relevant service; 26

(ii) an account relating to a relevant service; 27

(iii) a telecommunications device relating to a relevant 28 service;

(iv) another relevant service relating to a relevant service; 1

(b) the source of a communication; 2

(c) the destination of a communication; 3

(d) the date, time and duration of a communication, or of its 4 connection to a relevant

service; 5

(e) the type of a communication, or a type of relevant service 6 used in connection with a

communication; 7
