There is no great art, secrecy or oppression of privacy rights here. Location information has always been available as part of the telecommunications data provided by carriers, as evident from any mobile phone bill—the suburb and the tower. That is all we are saying. The bill recognises that the speed of delivery of this information is increasing the potential of this type of information. That is what it is about.
