Bill delayed (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-10-30 13:03 (#2TSZ) Due to action by political groups this bill has been delayedhttp://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2014/oct/30/abbott-government-agrees-to-delay-data-retention-bill-until-next-year Re: Bill delayed (Score: 1) by tanuki64@pipedot.org on 2014-10-30 16:03 (#2TT3) Yes. Only delayed. Sooner or later this bill will go through. It is just a matter of time. Same in Germany. A data retention law was rejected several times, but is reintroduced in almost regular intervals. The interests behind these laws are powerful and they have to succeed only once. Once such a law is enacted, it is almost impossible to repeal it again. Re: Bill delayed (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-10-30 22:28 (#2TTB) Like the TPP and its ilk. Keep putting it up and eventually it will get through.
