This year's Military Ethics Symposium was held at the University of New South Wales' Kensington Campus. Co-hosted by both the University of New South Wales and the Australian Army's 8th Brigade, the symposium explored the contemporary ethical challenges in warfare, including autonomous weapons systems, international humanitarian law, military training and force mobilisation.

L121-4 Hawkei was envisaged as an ‘armoured Land Rover’ replacement. As the vehicle was developed it retained its ‘armoured support vehicle’ features, but grew ‘light armoured fighting vehicle’ features. While using the Hawkei as an ‘armoured support vehicle’ is reasonably understood, using it as a ‘light armoured fighting vehicle’ is breaking new ground.
