The parliament session has begun and just like yesterday, it started with the home affairs minister Tony Burke introducing new legislation. This one seems to broaden surveillance of telecommunications;

You can find the bill here

It also appears to be retrospective:

1) Subsection 45B(9A) of the Surveillance Devices Act 2004 as 3 inserted by this Schedule applies in relation to the use, recording or 4 communication of protected network activity warrant information 5
after the commencement of this Schedule, whether that information 6 was obtained or generated before or after that commencement.

And it changes the definition of “lawfully accessed information” (the current definition can be found here)

Repeal the definition, substitute: 7 lawfully accessed information means information obtained by 8
accessing a stored communication otherwise than in contravention 9 of subsection 108(1), but does not include:10 (a) information obtained by accessing a stored communication 11 under a section 31A authorisation; or 12 (b) information obtained in accordance with an international 13 production order (within the meaning of Schedule 1)
