Concern has been raised over the Federal Government's plan to overhaul domestic laws to give the Defence Force greater powers to target the self-proclaimed Islamic State.
Last week, the Prime Minister flagged changes to the Criminal Code to protect the military from being charged with war crimes for bombing IS people not directly involved in fighting.
But there are fears from some quarters it could, in some way, "immunise soldiers and officers" if a bombing raid resulted in a large loss of civilian life.
