How on earth could this legislation be compliant with the ITAR requirements from the United States, which are relatively strict on protecting defence secrets and defence technology, if Mr Nockels is to be believed and there will only be dozens of permits required in circumstances where Australia has tens and tens of thousands of collaborations with countries outside of the bubble, which on the face of the bill would require a permit? You can't be compliant with the US ITAR requirements if you're setting up a regime which is only requiring dozens of permits. You can't have it both ways.
