I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) the Government has not yet provided a definition of 'metadata' to be retained under the proposed mandatory data retention scheme, and

(ii) media reports on 26 August 2014 suggested That the Attorney General's department has provided a definition in a document provided to the telecommunications industry; and

(b) orders that there be laid on the table, by the Attorney General, no later than noon on Wednesday, 3 September 2014:

(i) the definition of 'metadata' as defined by the Government's proposal on mandatory data retention, and

(ii) a copy of the document distributed to the telecommunications industry within the past week which discusses this policy.

The question is that Senator Ludlam's motion be agreed to.
