To:


*PARLIAMENTARY JOINT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY*

*REVIEW OF THE MANDATORY DATA RETENTION REGIME*

*INVITATION TO MAKE A SUBMISSION*
The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security has
commenced a review of the mandatory data retention regime proscribed by
Part 5-1A of the *Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979
(TIA Act).* <https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2019C00010> On behalf
of the Committee I am writing to invite you to make a submission to the
Committee’s review.
The mandatory data retention regime is a legislative framework which
requires carriers, carriage service providers and internet service
providers to retain a defined set of telecommunications data for two years,
ensuring that such data remains available for law enforcement and national
security investigations.
Section 187N of the TIA Act provides for the review and requires the
Committee to report by 13 April 2020. Terms of reference are available here
<https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Joint/Intelligence_and_Security/Dataretentionregime/Terms_of_Reference>
.
The Committee has resolved to focus on the following aspects of the
legislation:

   - the continued effectiveness of the scheme, taking into account changes
   in the use of technology since the passage of the Bill;
   - the appropriateness of the dataset and retention period;
   - costs, including ongoing costs borne by service providers for
   compliance with the regime, any potential improvements to oversight,
   including in relation to journalist information warrants;
   - any regulations and determinations made under the regime;
   - the number of complaints about the scheme to relevant bodies,
   including the Commonwealth Ombudsman and the Inspector-General of
   Intelligence and Security;
   - security requirements in relation to data stored under the regime,
   including in relation to data stored offshore;
   - any access by agencies to retained telecommunications data outside the
   TIA Act framework, such as under the Telecommunications Act 1997; and
   - developments in international jurisdictions since the passage of the
   Bill.

*Making a submission*
The Committee invites written submissions addressing any or all of
the areas of focus for the Committee’s inquiry. Submissions should clearly
identify which areas of focus are being addressed.
Prospective submitters are advised that any submission to the Committee’s
inquiry must be prepared solely for the inquiry and should not be published
prior to being accepted by the Committee. Documents do not attract
parliamentary privilege until they are accepted by the Committee. Documents
submitted during the election period will be held by the Secretariat and
provided to the Committee as established in the 46th Parliament.
Submissions are requested by *1 July 2019*. Further information about
making a submission to a parliamentary committee inquiry is available here
