4  Simplified outline of this Act

      Authorisations must be granted under particular legislation before nuclear material and nuclear‑related items can be exported from Australia.
      Australia has obligations under international agreements in relation to safeguards to be applied in countries to which nuclear material and nuclear‑related items are exported.
      This Act provides that, if particular conditions are met:
             (a) the exercise of powers or performance of functions under particular legislation is taken not to be inconsistent with Australia's obligations; and
             (b) the person exercising powers or performing functions under particular legislation is taken to have had due regard to Australia's obligations, responsibilities and commitments;
      under specified international agreements, in relation to the safeguards to be applied in India.
      The conditions relate to specific agreements with India which deal with safeguards.
