On February 27, 2015, the Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security of the Parliament of Australia released a report containing 39 recommendations for the Government to change several privacy law provisions: Advisory Report on the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2014.
Among others, the Report would require internet providers to store personal data for a minimum of two years. The proposed changes have been drafted as a counterterrorism measure but – some argue – compliance might be challenging for businesses.
According to source, the Government wants the Report to be quickly approved.
The Advisory Report on the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2014 is available at http://www.aph.gov…
