Thanks for the link/ article
It seems the police are seeking powers for account info, ie, full access to transaction history, locations etc.
This is a much simpler situation; only the name and address of a suspect being requested from already known bank account details, and given the police aren't requesting warrantless access to simply the name and address of an account holder, it indicates they already have authorisation to procure such details, in accordance with the privacy act and the major banks own privacy policies.
