Thin end of the wedge...
The link below shows the kind of creeping over-reach from government. Which is one very good reason to be wary of government surveillance technology like the Covid Safe App.
The Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Act 2015 was introduced ostensibly for "National Security" reasons. So why are they now encouraging permanent access for state & territory Consumer Law agencies??
And this on top of the existing sneaky scope creep that has already occurred via midnight legislation, and the number of agencies applying for access who don't (currently) comply - why do Bankstown Council need metadata? Or Greyhound Racing Victoria? Or the National Measurement Institute? Or the RSPCA? These ar hardly anti-terrorist bodies.
Note that no warrants are required for such data access by agencies. Goebbels & Stalin would be SO envious.

I'd feel more comfortable if they could actually use all that data for something useful like stopping the scum scam callers and emails....

Bloody Google Earth is bad enough and real estate agents that like to use drones. Good for sighting the shot gun.
