It follows from that that if you contact a lawyer to seek information, the metadata that signals that you have contacted your lawyer to seek advice is presumably metadata that is going to be caught and the government gets access to that. The government will know you have sought legal advice about something or have spoken to a lawyer. Is that how this legislation operates?
