What if you know the enemy, but not yourself?

You will spend $750B per year on a military that hasn't won a war in generations.

Or just never won a high intensity war alone.

How do you learn this stuff? When I turned 14, I could not imagine even making a successful website, that could withstand hackers and DDoS.

Probably an aboriginal Australian /j Seriously, 14yo' parents must be teachers or hackers of a sort.

2 years data retention

> The Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 requires telecommunications companies to retain a particular set of telecommunications data for at least 2 years. That looks like metadata (see https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/nat-security/files/dataset.pd... , PDF warning). Which is still private, but doesn't include your private calls and messages. How long do they keep private calls and messages?

They don't.

Preservation notices are incredibly rare, and no drag net requirements exist in Australia. CSPs are free to store such things, but generaly don't - beyond required metadata.
