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.
