I guess the first thought I have is that weapons used indiscriminately are automatically in breach of humanitarian law as it presently exists. I am saying that weapons used indiscriminately in any circumstance is a breach of humanitarian law.
Senator Ludlam interjecting—

I guess my second point is that Australia and Australian forces would never cooperate with military forces that are using weapons indiscriminately.
