Fourth Estate

Thursday, April 13th, marks the final deadline for full compliance with metadata retention, but the legislation is still a mess and many telcos won't make it. We took this opportunity to re-examine Australia's mandatory metadata retention laws and ask are the benefits worth the risk. And indeed are there any benefits at all? With Bernard Keane (Crikey), Bruce Baer Arnold (University of Canberra) and John Stanton (Communication Alliance). Hosted by Olivia Rosenman. Fourth Estate is produced by 2SER 107.3 radio in Sydney and is broadcast across the Community Radio Network in Australia. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
