I move amendment (1) on sheet 7113 standing in my name:

(1)   Schedule 1, item 1, page 3 (after line 15), after subsection 15(1B), insert:

  (1C)   Any information provided to a person as a result of a delegation by the Registrar under subsection (1B) must be retained, processed and stored in Australia at all times and must not in any way be transmitted outside Australia.

[retention of information in Australia]

For example, if the registrar delegates his or her powers to engage a debt-collection agency any personal information provided to that agency to assist them in collecting debt on behalf of the registrar must be retained, processed and stored in Australia at all times.

Question agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

Bill reported with an amendment; report adopted
