The Greens have some substantial issues with the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment Bill 2007. I know the government sought to have this legislation dealt with as non-controversial legislation, but we believe that it has some significant implications for the community in terms of its interception and access capacity. We think that it is being rushed through the legislative process and believe that it needs some further amendments. The Greens will be seeking to move some amendments on this legislation. I think that our spokesperson on these issues will probably be able to deal with this legislation in a much more comprehensive manner than I am able to.
