I raised the point in my PJCIS submissions regarding the Assistance and
Access Act, that TANs/TCNs are potentially sufficient grounds to serve as
authorisation under s280/s313 of the Telecommunications Act for the access
of Data Retention datasets, and so provide the necessary enabling
legislation for law enforcement to institute access to metadata datastreams.

I had thought with the election announced, there'd be some respite from
this rinse/repeat cycle of calling for public submissions. Just when you
thought it was safe to go back in the water.

Kind regards

Paul Wilkins
