[AusNOG] Assistance and Access Bill moves to PJCIS

[Paul Brooks]

PJCIS has confirmed extra public consultation days have been scheduled - webpage now
says " An initial Public Hearing is expected to be held on Friday, 19 October 2018. 
Further Public Hearings will be scheduled for late October or early November 2018."

Contact suggests at least one extra, possibly two extra hearings.

Also, PJCIS is publishing submissions immediately as they arrive - see
https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Joint/Intelligence_and_Security/TelcoAmendmentBill2018/Submissions

Currently 17 submissions published by PJCIS.

See
https://internet.org.au/news/210-open-letter-regarding-the-assistance-and-access-bill-2018
for the Open Letter we sent to Minister Dutton yesterday calling for much wider
consultation, picking up material from several submissions that Home Affairs haven't
seen fit to publish yet. it got a bit of media attention this morning.

I'll be speaking about this on the final session of CommsDay Melbourne tomorrow, if
anyone onlist is attending CommsDay
