The Federal Government has proposed a major expansion of national security powers, which would make it easier for law enforcement and intelligence agencies to track what all Australians are up to on the internet.
One of the most controversial proposals is to require internet service providers to retain data on their customers web use for two years. ...
The idea is currently being considered by a parliamentary committee, and Ms Roxon insists there would be strict privacy measures in place to make sure the information is only used by crime-fighting agencies when it is needed.
But the plan has drawn the ire of many, including Greens Senator Scott Ludlum, who says the move to mandatory data collection is an invasion of privacy.
"These proposals are a sweeping expansion of surveillance powers," he said.
Liberal MP Steve Ciobo has taken an even tougher stance.
"I think that this proposal is akin to tactics that we would have seen utilised by the Gestapo," he said.
Ms Roxon says the Government is yet to make a final decision about whether to proceed.
"The intention behind the proposed reform is to allow law enforcement agencies to continue investigating crime in light of new technologies," Ms Roxon told a security in government conference yesterday.
"The loss of this capability would be a major blow to our law enforcement agencies and to Australia's national security."
Senator Ludlam says Ms Roxon has effectively pre-empted the work of the committee and declared the Government's support for the plan.
"The proposal is absolutely outrageous (and) I can't understand why the Attorney-General hasn't at least waited for the committee to do its work," he said.
He says it would effectively mean the roll-out of real-time surveillance of everyone in Australia.
Proposed national security laws allowing web histories to be stored prompted a protest from hacker group Anonymous in which they stole customer information from an Australian company, so what are the laws and how do the people whose information has been stolen feel?
Am wondering what Abbott, as a person, is like - empathy-wise. We view him through the prism of others, but he seems to lack in this area.

Government to legislate to stop super trawlers

The super trawler Abel Tasman will be prevented from fishing in Australian waters until new scientific research is carried out, in a bid to appease community concern about the ship.
Cabinet signed off on the plan last night in the face of growing unrest on the Labor backbench which would have culminated in a private member's bill being put forward to ban the trawler.
Seafish Tasmania brought the trawler to Australia to fish for a near 18,000-tonne quota of jack mackerel and redbait.
Environment Minister Tony Burke had already imposed restrictions on the trawler to try to limit the number of dolphins, seals and sea lions being caught.
But now he says he will introduce legislation to Parliament today that will extend his legal powers under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC), allowing him to order more scientific research to assess the impact of the trawler on Australia's oceans.
"There has never been a fishing vessel of this capacity in Australia before and the EPBC Act needs to be updated so that it can deal with it," Mr Burke said.
"If we get this wrong there are risks to the environment, to commercial operators and to everyone who loves fishing and they are risks I am not prepared to take."
Mr Burke says the legislation will give him the power to stop the Abel Tasman fishing in Commonwealth waters for up to two years while an expert panel is set up to assess the environmental impact.
Destructive or sustainable?
The size of the Margiris, now named Abel Tasman, has sparked fears it will decimate fish stocks.
But Australia's fishing regulator says the trawler's quota is based on sound science.
So will the super trawler devastate a region, or will its catch be a drop in the ocean?
ABC News Online takes a look at both sides of the debate here.
He says research will be undertaken in an "open and transparent" way to restore public confidence in the process.
Mr Burke says the issue was not the size of the ship's fishing quota but rather its ability to stay for an extended period of time in the same area which increases the risk of large-scale localised by-catch.
The Abel Tasman was seeking approval from the Australian Fisheries Management Authority to operate in Australia.
Chief executive James Findlay has previously defended the Abel Tasman, arguing there was no reason to single out this particular ship.
"With catch limits in place, there is no evidence that larger boats pose a higher risk to either the fish stock or the broader marine ecosystem," Mr Findlay wrote last week.
"The net on this boat is similar in size to nets currently operating in the Australian fishing fleet - the only reason the boat is so much larger than other fishing boats is that it has the factory and freezer storage on board."
'Unprecedented campaign'
The ship's presence in Australia has sparked a fierce campaign from conservation and community groups, including GetUp!.
Its environmental campaign director, Paul Oosting, has welcomed the Government's intervention.
"This super trawler would not have just killed fish, it would also have killed a significant number of protected species," he said.
"For example, under the proposed conditions for fishing the super trawler could have legally killed up to 10 seals a day.
"That is not acceptable."
The Abel Tasman is operated by a joint venture between Seafish Tasmania and a Dutch fishing company.
Seafish Tasmania has a quota of nearly 17,800 tonnes for the 2012-13 financial year out of a total quota in the fishery of 36,300 tonnes.
