Donald Rothwell, a professor of international law at the Australian National University, said in general Australia had capacity to level “a range” of sanctions, either autonomously or in concert with other nations But he added that a consideration of any measures was whether they would be meaningful
Rothwell added,

“Australia's economic and trade relationship with Israel isn’t as extensive as with other countries, so it’s unlikely any trade or economic sanction would have harmful impacts on the target state but they could possibly be seen as symbolic”
Rothwell suggested that, in general terms, targeted sanctions could include placing restrictions on military-to-military cooperation or relationships Rothwell added,any form of sanctions would likely be more effective in conjunction with allies “There’s increasing evidence there’s a movement toward that”
