Australia’s Treasury has set out which suspected breaches of foreign investment rules it will prioritise in 2026–27. Its November 11 release points to cases that may put Australia’s national interest or security at risk.

The priorities include cases where an investor failed to give required advance notice or breached conditions attached to an approval or exemption. Treasury singled out investment in critical infrastructure and minerals, among other areas, as well as transactions involving sensitive data.

Treasury says it will weigh the circumstances of each case. It can also pursue suspected breaches outside the listed priorities.
