Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Bills Child Sex Offenders Registration (Registration of Internet Activities) Amendment Bill CHILD SEX OFFENDERS REGISTRATION (REGISTRATION OF INTERNET ACTIVITIES) AMENDMENT BILL Committee Stage Committee Stage In committee. Clauses 1 and 2 passed. Clause 3. The Hon. B.V. FINNIGAN Legislative Council The Hon. B.V. FINNIGAN: I move: Page 2, line 22 [clause 3, inserted paragraph(p)]—After 'email addresses,' insert: passwords, As I indicated in my second reading contribution last evening, this is a fairly simple amendment which I do not think can be considered too controversial. It inserts the word 'passwords' after 'email addresses' so that registrable offenders under this bill will be required amongst the other information they must provide to include passwords that access their email accounts, internet accounts and so on. The Hon. R.D. LAWSON Legislative Council The Hon. R.D. LAWSON: I support the amendment. Strictly speaking, it is unnecessary because the bill itself does not descend into particulars such as passwords and the like; however, paragraph (q) provides for the prescription of other information that is required to be provided by regulation. It is undoubtedly true that this area of technology is constantly moving and changing, and that is why we have included in the provision the possibility of further definition by regulation. That said, things such as passwords, in this case, and access codes, in the next, are clearly of use to investigators. The mover of the original bill (Hon. Iain Evans) is happy to accept this and the following amendment proposed by the government. Amendment carried. The Hon. B.V. FINNIGAN Legislative Council The Hon. B.V. FINNIGAN: I move: Page 2, line 23—After 'or any other' insert: access code. The rationale behind this amendment is pretty clear. The Hon. R.D. LAWSON Legislative Council The Hon. R.D. LAWSON: Again, we will agree with the amendment proposed by the honourable member. Amendment carried; clause as amended passed. Title passed. Bill reported with amendments. Third Reading Third Reading Bill read a third time and passed.
