Yes, I think it is. I don't know the details, but, if I understand correctly, the Australian authorities' intention was simply to provide an additional tool that could help. They didn't intend to create the potential for a large number of lawsuits or things like that. If I remember correctly, the Australian government tabled two or three other acts or bills that created new criminal offences. However, the intent was mainly to give the Australian authorities greater knowledge of the actors, and not necessarily to assign active police powers.
