Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council, Minister for Arts and Attorney-General) (14:26): Yes. Senator Collins, as I explained to Senator Ludlam yesterday and as I am trying explain to you, we have given certain instructions in relation to the legislation that is being prepared for the retention of metadata. Those instructions have made clear that a person's web browsing history will not be retained. That has never been the government's intention. It will not be retained, and I never said anything to the contrary.
