- Tighten the definition of security in the relevant intelligence legislation to include only espionage, sabotage and terrorism.
- Replace the intelligence and security committee with a multi-party select committee, which operates under Parliamentary Select Committee rules, so that Parliament can scrutinise the intelligence and security activities of the Government.
- Review the Official Informal Act 1982, to improve the public's access to official information that may enhance the common good, and ensure effective review mechanisms in place.
- Review controls on the sale of private information, the aggregation of information by private agencies, and the exchange of information between government agencies, to ensure consistency with the Privacy Act.
- Review the Search and Surveillance Act, with the aim of making it difficult for enforcement agencies to search without a Court-ordered warrant.
