provides an exception to the hearsay rule for the use of representations as to the identity of the sender, date and time of sending and destination of the recipient in documents recording an electronic communication. This clause provides a broad and flexible definition of the technologies which fall within the exception to the hearsay rule for telecommunications. This definition is not device-specific or method-specific and embraces all modern electronic technologies. It is also intended to be sufficiently broad to capture future technologies. The Notes refer to Division 3 of Part 4.3 which contains presumptions about electronic communications, the Commonwealth Act which has a wider application in relation to Commonwealth records and that electronic communication is a defined term. This clause accords with the 2005 LRCs' Report (recommendation 6-2).
