Surveillance inquiry urges Government restraint

From a Home Affairs Committee press release:

In a report released Sunday, the Home Affairs Committee calls on Government to “adopt a principle of data minimisation” in the information it collects and holds on citizens - it should collect only what is essential, to be stored only for as long as is necessary-and it should “resist a tendency to collect more personal information and establish larger databases”.
