iTWire - OzLog won’t include web history: AG

iTWire - OzLog won’t include web history: AG
The office of Attorney-General Robert McLelland today denied reports that a controversial data retention policy — dubbed “OzLog” online — being considered by his department could see Australians’ web browsing history tracked by internet service providers.

“This is not about web browser history,” said McLelland’s media liaison Adam Siddique in a brief telephone conversation. “It’s purely about being able to identify and verify identities online,” he added, linking the initiative to the ability for law enforcement to track criminals online.
