Labor’s retrospective change to the definition of hors de combat (definition of a War Crime) unfairly rewrites the rules applied to Australian Defence Force personnel who served in Afghanistan. No-one is asking for immunity, and no-one is saying serious allegations should not be tested. But Australians who served this country must be judged according to the law as it stood at the time, not according to rules rewritten years later for political convenience. Retrospective law-making undermines certainty, fairness and confidence in the rule of law. One Nation's amendment restores a basic principle: that our veterans and serving members deserve clear, lawful and consistent treatment.
