I've sent my submission - my approach for this particular submission, and I'm not sure whether it's the best approach, was to indicate that I agree with the general arguments that this bill is bad for privacy, but also that if a scheme like this is going to be introduced anyway, that the oversight and transparency regime is not tough enough to allow the public to have confidence that the new powers are being used appropriately, or for researchers to be able to accurately measure the impact of the new regime on privacy and security. I will also be writing to (and maybe phoning!) my MPs and Senators, and I anticipate this bill will go to a Senate committee for inquiry at which point there will be a further opportunity for submissions. edit: and oh yeah, don't forget to contact your senators, not just your local MP. I only have 2, those of you who have 12 may have a few crossbench senators who will be crucial if, somehow, Labor can be persuaded to vote against, and in any case could have an outsized impact on proposing amendments to make the new powers less-bad.
