Trade, Industry and Competition minister Parks Tau says the proposed legislation aims to strengthen regulation, improve national security and attract private investment into the space sector. It also proposes establishing an independent Space Regulatory Authority to oversee industry activities. Stakeholders have 60 days to submit public comments before the Bill progresses through Parliament.
