"Weapons of Mass Destruction (Prevention of Proliferation) Act 1995 (Cth) prohibits WMD programme support"
The WMD Act 1995 (Cth) applies a catch-all prohibition on supplying goods, services or technology where the supplier knows or ought to suspect the end-use involves a WMD programme, beyond the listed-goods DSGL regime.
This is a human-established fact, not a universal axiom. It is true within AU as enacted by Commonwealth Parliament of Australia; Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Answer
sec:answer-1f9e3533
The WMD Act 1995 (Cth) prohibits the supply of goods or services, and the provision of technology, that will or may assist a WMD programme — nuclear, chemical, biological or long-range missile. Unlike the DTCA which turns on a listed-goods schedule, the WMD Act applies a catch-all intent-based test: an export is prohibited if the exporter knows, suspects or ought reasonably to suspect the destination or end-use involves WMD. Penalties up to 8 years imprisonment.
