Show Notes

The Australian War Memorial stands by displaying Ben Roberts-Smiths uniform in the Hall of Valour, despite his charges for murder in Afghanistan. Critics argue this undermines historical truth. The memorial plans to update the panel but not move the exhibit. Senior historians call for the display to be moved to the Afghanistan gallery to reflect the true costs of war. The debate on whether heroes remain heroes or are reevaluated continues as the legal fight unfolds.
