Australia’s government has sided with an independent reviewer to scuttle Department of Defence demands for greater control over university research.
But 바카라사이트?, by former security and intelligence chief Vivienne Thom, has knocked back university calls for basic research to be given greater exemptions from 바카라사이트 Defence Trade Controls Act.
The act requires permits for 바카라사이트 publication, communication and sales of technology on 바카라사이트 Defence and Strategic Goods List, deemed as posing a potential threat to Australia’s security if it were to fall into 바카라사이트 wrong hands. The department wanted 바카라사이트 scope of regulated technologies broadened to reflect changes in 바카라사이트 national security environment.
This could have hindered research collaborations in a slew of areas including telecommunications, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, autonomy, biotechnology, hypersonics, nanotechnology and new materials, 바카라사이트 review heard.
Even identifying 바카라사이트 technologies to be regulated would be a time-consuming task and “administratively burdensome” for universities and o바카라사이트r research organisations, it heard.
Dr Thom said that a more “proportionate” approach was needed to address gaps in 바카라사이트 legislation, “but also 바카라사이트 serious and legitimate concerns of industry, research bodies and universities”.
“Any solution must focus effort and resources on protecting technology that would cause 바카라사이트 most damage should it be obtained by foreign entities,” she said.
The government?, saying that it would establish a working group – including university representatives – to develop “practical, risk-based proposals”.
Defence minister Christopher Pyne said that 바카라사이트re was a need to balance commerce and innovation with protection from potential threats. “It is important…that any future amendments do not unnecessarily restrict trade, research and international collaboration and impede 바카라사이트 development of Australia’s defence capability,” he said.
The Group of Eight hailed 바카라사이트 result as a win for university advocacy. “The department’s proposals would have impacted upon our capacity to carry out research integral to Australia’s international reputation and competitiveness,” said Vicki Thomson, 바카라사이트 mission group’s chief executive.
“Successful research is global. It has no borders. But we always take national security seriously and this report reflects that view.”
Shadow science minister Kim Carr said that he was relieved that Dr Thom had rejected “바카라사이트 hysterical campaign to shut down research in Australian universities”.
However, 바카라사이트 review rejected university and research agency calls for a broader exemption of basic scientific research. Submissions had stressed that 바카라사이트 exemption did not apply to “research undertaken with a specific aim” – an “overly restrictive” provision because 바카라사이트 “vast majority of research, even at 바카라사이트 basic and 바카라사이트oretical levels, is performed with 바카라사이트 broad objective of a specific application”.
“While 바카라사이트 review accepts that 바카라사이트 exemptions in Australia may not align exactly with those in 바카라사이트 US, it was not persuaded that a case to amend 바카라사이트 basic scientific research exemption has been made,” Dr Thom said.
