Mr. Declan Power:

I would say that it has no impact. It was never designed to have an impact. In the discussions that created the legislation in the Defence (Amendment) Act 1960, it was not an issue. It was never meant to be that. Joining the UN was never something that was meant to enhance our neutrality. I would argue that it is a whole different conversation to talk about neutrality; it is not relevant to the triple lock.
