Answer
sec:answer-144351d0
The WMD Act 1995 (Cth) prohibits the supply of goods or services, and the provision of technology, that will or may assist a WMD programme — nuclear, chemical, biological or long-range missile. Unlike the DTCA which turns on a listed-goods schedule, the WMD Act applies a catch-all intent-based test: an export is prohibited if the exporter knows, suspects or ought reasonably to suspect the destination or end-use involves WMD. Penalties up to 8 years imprisonment.
