Dear Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

Is it possible to provide the following documents, with redactions or omissions if necessary, on the "full powers" of Australia and UK respectively for signing the Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of Australia for Defence and Security Cooperation signed in 2024?

The Australian Parliament had an inquiry on this agreement:

(Considering past requests to DFAT, I explain here that "full powers" is standard terminology which refers to a document that a head of state, a head of government, or the foreign minister, authorises someone else to sign or conclude a treaty on the state's behalf. Whether or not the document contains the term "full powers" in its heading for instance is really for Australia or the UK to decide on their own.)

On the above - if there are issues in providing copy of full powers from the UK, would it be possible to at least provide copy of the full powers from Australia?

Thank yous!

Yours faithfully,

Tyler
