The last time I looked—and unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to bring myself up to date immediately in advance of this meeting, but I would have done so prior to going to the Senate committee—there are a small number of states in Australia that have legislation that's very similar to this. In the United Kingdom, they have recently enacted identity card legislation, which does have similar offences in relation to identity documents. With respect to the new section 56.1 that we're proposing, they have very similar legislation. But it's my understanding that the United Kingdom does not actually have any offences with respect to the acquisition and handling of information that's not recorded in a document. This legislation would actually go farther than where the United Kingdom is, but it is quite consistent with the few--two or three, maybe four--states in Australia that have already enacted legislation.
