@tony "> there are clauses for that e.g page 10.

I have read through the bill, and - although I am not a lawyer - it looks like it has been well thought out and makes sense (unlike *another* recent bill!).
My main concern, with this (or any other) bill, is where it may be open to abuse, intimidation, and/or corruption. I hope those with 'legal' minds may discover the specific areas which may be open to abuse, and where further clarification within the bill may address those concerns.
Specifically, related to those whose work involves the provision, and/or testing of the security of systems to guard against possible cybercrimes. I would like to see a section where specific exemption is allowed where permission by a person in authority over a computer system or telecommunications network is given to a specific person or organisation to conduct testing of a system's security - commonly referred to as 'penetration testing' or 'pentest'
My initial thoughts.
