Attorney, I am somewhat bewildered. You have told us that the metadata retention regime is only to be used for investigation or enforcement of serious offences. The PJCIS says that is what it is intended to be used for. My amendment says nothing more than a disclosure is reasonably necessary for the enforcement—not even the investigation, but the enforcement—of a serious contravention, and I understand 'serious contravention' is understood, of the law. What exactly is the problem?
