Part 1: Call-in for national security Chapter 2: Interpretation Section 9: Control of assets
Section 9 defines the circumstances in which a person gains control of a qualifying asset for the purposes of the Act. This constitutes a "trigger event" and may be subject to assessment under the national security regime if the call-in test is met. A person gains control of a qualifying asset where they acquire a right or interest in, or in relation to, the asset and, as a result, are able either to:
use the asset, or use it to a greater extent than prior to the acquisition, or,
direct or control how the asset is used, or direct or control how the asset is used to a greater extent than prior to the acquisition.
	Any right or interest in a qualifying asset, including a part-share in the asset or outright ownership, would be captured if they provide the ability to use, or direct or control how the asset is used. References to the use of an asset include references to its exploitation, alteration, manipulation, disposal or destruction.
