Thank you kindly. I greatly appreciate that.
Though I cannot in good faith support legislation permitting mass surveillance, for the reasons outlined above, if this option is advanced, the following is recommended. Clearly and comprehensively define “dataset”, “publicly available data”, and “exploitation of data”. Keep a record of every time a dataset is created, queried, and exploited, and by whom. The precise purpose for doing so should be recorded to enhance accountability. Records of such use should be sent periodically to the intelligence commissioner for review.
