I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes:

(i) the Attorney-General has stated That the Government would introduce legislation to support a mandatory data retention policy before the end of the 2014 calendar year,

(ii) the Government has not yet provided a full definition of metadata that would be covered under the policy, and

(iii) media reports suggest That the Attorney-General's department has provided an updated discussion paper on the data retention issue to industry; and

(b) orders that there be laid on the table by the Attorney-General, no later than noon on Monday, 20 October 2014, the latest discussion paper on data retention which has been distributed by the Attorney-General's department to industry.

Question agreed to.
