[The Attorney-General’s] office say it’s all been misrepresented by the media. A media beatup, they reckon. Apparently they’re worried that companies who copy emails for virus-scanning purposes might be in contravention of the Telecommunications Interception Act and they’d like to remove the potential problem.

The functionary at the A-G’s office didn’t know how the story got started or why Julia Gillard got involved in the way she did — ie spouting total gibberish.
