                                                                                                                                                               (b) trade‑related policy development;
                                                                                                                                                               (c) support for development of potential or revised mutual recognition and similar arrangements.
                                                                                                                                                               This objective has the effect it would have if it were limited to measures:
                                                                                                                                                               (a) in connection with trade and commerce with other countries, or among the States and Territories; or
                                                                                                                                                               (b) with respect to external affairs (within the meaning of paragraph 51(xxix) of the Constitution).
