Senator Brandis, I am delighted to take you at your word; there are many who will not. One of the things that we are here to do today is track down the possible unintended consequences of a bill such as this. I would like to get some details particularly about location. There is a lot of concern around the fact that included well and truly within the scope of the bill is location of a particular device when a call connects and when it disconnects or when a communication is initiated and when it is concluded. For example, for a mobile phone handset within a metropolitan area where you are surrounded by probably half a dozen cell towers at any given time, to what degree of accuracy does that allow a particular device to be located?
