The court of law should assess whether Ben Roberts-Smith is guilty of war crimes, not the unrepresentative swill from the conservative right and assorted vested interests.
It’ll be trying to say that they weren’t war crimes. Fog of battle, you had to be there stuff. And as Eddy pointed out, there’s a massive implication of Islamophobia and racism. He has the presumption of innocence and the courts will rightly assume that. But Prima facie the evidence seems strong
Always appreciate your analysis and clarity!

Wonders never cease! Apparently Kerry Stokes has also withdrawn support. I wonder if we’ll see Roberts-Smith’s support quietly dissipate?

I hope that most people in Australia don't support war crimes, but I suppose it depends on whose narrative....
