I move:

Clause 1, page 9 (line 10), after “Interception”, insert “and Access”.

I will be fairly brief. This is a minor change that goes to the renaming of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act. The name of the bill, as the Attorney would know, has been changed since the time it was introduced and the time we are debating it. I give the Attorney some notice that I do not intend to speak for very long on this amendment. Basically it is a change that is necessitated because, as the Attorney would be aware, of a change to the name that came about because of the changes to the Telecommunications (Interception) Act. It is a technical matter which I think the government should have no problem in accepting, given that it corrects the references to the act as now properly named.
