Episode Ben Roberts-Smith and the One Nation law change that could impact his trial
In April this year, Ben Roberts-Smith was arrested and charged with five counts of the war crime of murder.
He’s now out on bail and maintains his innocence – and One Nation has swung its support behind him.
Now, the minor party says it’s also seeking to make a change to the criminal code — a change that could make a big difference to Roberts-Smith’s upcoming trial.
Today, journalist Ben McKelvey on the law One Nation wants changed — and what that could mean for Australia’s international standing.
