Government plans changes to engagement rules with IS

The Federal Government plans to update Australian criminal law to protect the military from facing any charges over action against the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or I-S.

The changes would be aimed at making sure nobody could be charged with war crimes for bombing I-S people not directly involved in fighting.

Current rules of engagement would be eased to let Australian aircraft pursue a wider range of I-S targets, including logistics bases and not just those directly participating in combat.
