The Federal Government is set to announce it will spend $1.3 billion on new light armoured personnel carriers for the Army.
The Hawkei vehicles will be manufactured by Thales Australia in Bendigo and will replace part of the Army's ageing Land Rover fleet.
The Hawkeis are classed as "light protected mobility vehicles".

I wonder what they will do with the Land Rovers? I’d love to have one.
I wonder if they’re importable to the US.

I would hate to have the DHS confiscate it.
Or the EPA because it doesn’t meet some arbitrary emission standards.

Looks like the Oshkosh L-ATV (JLTV) that’s replacing the HMMWV.
Why? There are no guns in Australia, right? LOL

Seriously, this idea that there are no guns in Australia is one of the most stupid pieces of information being spread by gun control groups (and sometimes by gun rights groups too - although at the moment, it does seem to be the gun grabbers who want to do it more) I've seen. It's so easy to demonstrate it's untrue.
A million gun owners with several million guns in a country with a few over twenty million people.
Gun crime is not a major problem, but it's not because we don't have any guns. There are some dumb restrictions, but gun crime started trending down before they were introduced.
I was just joking. I know they have guns there.
I saw both Crocodile Dundee Movies. LOL
Fair enough - but I’ve seen this myth at least half a dozen times here on FR in the last few days by people who apparently believed it. Not their fault - honest people can readily be mislead - but it’s a problem in both countries - because it’s being used in the US to try and push higher levels of gun control, and here in Australia, it leads to the gun control pushers trying to make it more and more true.
