"FIRB critical-technologies list triggers mandatory foreign-investment notification"
Acquiring an Australian business in a listed critical-technology sector requires FIRB notification under FATA s 55B regardless of value
Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.
This is a human-established fact. It holds within AU as enacted by Foreign Investment Review Board (Treasury).

Under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) as amended by the 2020 national-security reforms, any acquisition in a 'national security business' — including businesses that develop, manufacture or supply critical technologies on the Government's List of Critical Technologies in the National Interest — requires notification to FIRB regardless of the investment value. Critical-minerals extraction and processing, advanced materials and manufacturing (including antimony), and quantum/semiconductor technology are on the list.
