I think it is because I am a lawyer that I inherently seek certainty and clarity around these issues. I would like then to confirm what I think I just heard you say, Attorney-General—that is, the six examples in the table under 187AA are exclusive definitions of what may be retained. My reading of that section is that, under subclause 1, the following table sets out the kinds of information that a service provider must keep or cause to be kept, in which case it would suggest that they were examples but not exclusive examples. It is the very fact that there is not a prescription that is causing concern. Can you please confirm that these six items in the table are the exclusive requirement as to what is to be retained.
