RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation 1
3.104 The committee recommends that the Attorney-General's
Department revise and reissue the Explanatory Memorandum to the Bill to:
- provide greater clarification to carriers and nominated carriage
service providers about their reporting requirements under the Telecommunications
(Interception and Access) Act 1979;
- specifically detail where privacy issues may arise within the
context of these amendments to assist issuing authorities when considering
factors under subsection 116(2) of the Telecommunications (Interception and
Access) Act 1979; and
- address what the existing legislation already provides for and
explain why those existing provisions do not adequately meet the operational
requirements of intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

providers about their reporting requirements under Schedule 2 of the Bill.
