Episode Details

Ben Roberts-Smith, Australia's most decorated soldier and Victoria Cross recipient, has been released on $250,000 bail and is now reporting to a New South Wales police station three times a week. He faces five charges of war crime murder in Afghanistan, based on evidence from four Australian soldiers who claim they helped execute Afghan detainees under his orders or encouragement. The case will be Australia's first war crimes trial since the Second World War, with legal experts describing it as uncharted territory that could take years to reach trial.
