Mobile telephone penetration in Australia is among the highest in the world. With so many Australians relying on their mobile device for secure voice and data communications, the sensitivity and magnitude of stored location information being gathered for each person is only now being realised. The collection, use and disclosure of location information by stakeholders including government agencies, private enterprise, and subscribers and their monitors needs to be regulated. This research will place Australia at the forefront of telecommunications policy, and provide legislative recommendations that can aid in overcoming the challenges to ensure subscriber privacy.

澳大利亚是世界上移动电话普及率最高的国家之一。由于许多澳大利亚人依赖他们的移动设备进行安全的语音和数据通信，为每个人收集的存储位置信息的敏感性和规模直到现在才意识到。政府机构、私营企业、用户及其监控人员等利益相关者对位置信息的收集、使用和披露需要受到监管。这项研究将把澳大利亚放在电信政策的最前沿，并提供立法建议，可以帮助克服挑战，以确保用户的隐私。
