Division
Gavin Marshall The committee is considering the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2015. The question for the before the chair presently is that Senator Leyonhelm's amendments (10), (11), (14), (15), (17) to (25), on sheet 7661 be agreed to. David Leyonhjelm I have spoken on these amendments. They relate to protected class warrants. The intention is, as I said previously, to extend the requirement for a warrant to more than simply journalists. There are others whose data deserves the protection of a warrant regime. They have been well debated and I commend them to the chamber. George Brandis I have already made my contribution last night in response to Senator Leyonhelm's arguments. Scott Ludlam We indicated our support last night. I am also foreshadowing that we will drop a very similar amendment the Australian Greens drafted when we get to it. I am happy to support Senator Leyonhelm's amendments. The CHAIRMAN: We are in continuation from last night so I want to give everybody an opportunity to catch up to where we are. Are there any other speakers on these amendments? The question is that the amendments be agreed to.
Senate, 2015-03-26. negative: ayes 14, noes 34.
