We are working on a grass roots campaign to raise awareness about these bills, mainly the data retention legislation which will be up for debate in the upcoming weeks.
The campaign will focus on allowing constituents to easily contact their representatives via calls, emails, facebook and twitter.
There are a bunch of open issues but your best bet is to join us at #ausprivacy on freenode to get a better idea of what needs to be done and where we are at.
2) Legislator Dataset
We have a large majority of the contact details for legislators thanks to OpenAustralia.org but there are quite a few missing still. So for those who can't help out with development, we would love help finding missing contact information. I have already wrote a call for help on Reddit -> http://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/2hhh2m/call_for_v...
3) Press/Media
If you are a journalist or influential person/company who is interested in promoting the campaign, please shoot me an email(can be found in my HN profile)

We also have an animation in development to more easily explain in laymen terms the repercussions of the proposed legislation.
For anyone inspired enough to want to help out there are a few roles to fill.
