Ms Bernie Maguire:

What the Government had instructed was a change to the triple lock on the basis of deployments to international force, given the power of the Security Council. That was the primary reason for this legislation. In addition, a number of issues have arisen over the years where there was a lack of clarity in how we deploy our Defence Forces to other types of operations that are not part of an international force. We wanted to take advantage of this legislation to bring clarity to those as well.
