 (This release has been authorised by the Secretary to the Committee as at
 24th July, 2001)
 
 Included here is the Executive Summary:
 
 a. 2600 Australia believes the term "cybercrime" is so broadly defined
 and so frequently misdefined that legislation such as the Cybercrime
 Bill, 2001 will fail to achieve the desired result if only through
 failure to address some issues and through the addition of unnecessary
 complexity to existing laws.
 
 b. 2600 Australia believes that a number of parts of the Cybercrime Bill,
 2001 place in grave danger the robust debate, discussion and
 disclosure that the computer security industry relies so heavily upon.
 
 c. 2600 Australia believes that a number of parts of the Cybercrime Bill,
 2001 will unintentionally place a significant number of computer
 security industry professionals at risk because of poorly defined or
 overly broad definitions of certain acts, objects and intentions.
 
 d. 2600 Australia believes that a number of parts of the Cybercrime Bill,
 2001 place in grave danger the common law privilege against self
 incrimination.
 
 e. 2600 Australia believes that an alternative response to the perceived
 threat of "cybercrime" is required, including but not limited to
 additional training for law enforcement, more rigorous ACCC scrutiny of
 security claims made in respect of products and services and the
 formation of a national body to oversee computer security matters.
 
 f.  For these reasons and others as discussed below, 2600 Australia canot
 support the passage of the Cybercrime Bill, 2001 in its current or any
 substantially similar form.
