IIA statement on Data Retention

[Hursticon]

I like how the Attorney-General's Department expect the Industry to foot the bill for the retention of data and the process required in order to do so as well as the storage required .

The whole "We want to make Internet use in Australia more secure, but... We want you to retain private information, pay for it, store it and manage it" statement is so rude and a joke!.

I like how they don't want to spend any money on storing the retained data in a Government controlled central location, I agree in not keeping one's eggs in a single basket but I think they should at least play some sort of role seeming as it is their legislation that they want to introduce.

Realistically, the industry wouldn't foot the bill, it'd be the consumers footing the bill through increased Internet access fees.

Agreed, but you know what I mean, it's like saying:
"I wanna keep this MISB Fortress Maximus inside this perspex case but I want the members of OTCA to purchase the figure, the case and foot the bill for postage in order to keep the figure safe for the community".
Why would anyone do either?, where's the incentive?.

I think the trick is to make it illegal for the rest of OTCA not to foot the bill...
