Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ronnie Downes:

Okay. That is my understanding of the position for the moment.

The Senator asked about the trade in dual-use goods. This has been the subject of some attention recently. Our Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment is the national competent authority under the legislation with responsibility for export controls, including controls on defence-related exports, military goods and exports of dual-use goods. To be clear, there are no exports of any military goods to Israel. Dual-use goods are goods that are capable of both civilian and military use.
