In short: Australia's Defence department has refused to publicly release a copy of the deal struck with Israel on defence industry cooperation because it "could harm Australia's international standing and reputation".

The Israeli government was also consulted about whether to release the document, the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has revealed.

What's next? Greens senator David Shoebridge has argued the Australian public has a right to know about Australia's military trade relationship with Israel.
