## Resource

A Victoria Cross hero facing war crime allegations is set to attend the opening of Australia’s newest war memorial gallery — sparking national debate. Despite being accused of murdering five detainees in Afghanistan, Ben Roberts-Smith, who denies all charges, has had his bail adjusted to allow the event. Defence Minister Richard Marles and politicians like Pauline Hanson back his presence, citing presumption of innocence. The $550 million Anzac Hall expansion, featuring updated displays about Roberts-Smith, aims to honor Australia’s Middle Eastern service. Amid legal battles and public scrutiny, the gallery’s launch serves as a solemn reminder of sacrifice — with the Prime Minister set to deliver a speech on remembrance.
