The Albanese Government has appointed Mr Peter Tesch and Professor Graeme Samuel AC to co-lead a review of the Defence Trade Controls Act 2012.
The Act regulates the supply of military and dual-use technology overseas and the brokering of defence goods and technology.
A review is required every five years under the Act to ensure Australia’s export control regime remains fit for purpose, balancing appropriate safeguards with a rapidly evolving strategic environment.
