A campaign dubbed "Citizens, not suspects" was launched by digital rights group Electronic Frontiers Australia and political activist group GetUp! on Tuesday calling on the federal government to drop its mandatory data retention regime, due to be introduced via a bill into Parliament later this year.

The scheme would require all telcos to store an undefined amount of telecommunications data, or “metadata”, about their customers for a period of two years, regardless of whether the company needs it for business or billing purposes.
