Veterans Affairs Minister Darren Chester says while it's important to tell stories of misconduct, the vast majority of Australians who have served in the defence force have done so honourably. “For the two million Australians throughout the nation’s history who have put on the uniform, the vast majority, the overwhelming majority, have served with great distinction, with integrity, with compassion, where required, and with courage,” he told Sky News.
“It’s not the time to preempt that process.” Australian War Memorial Director Matt Anderson told Sky News it's important the War Memorial tells the stories of misconduct by Australian soldiers after investigations into allegations of war crimes in Afghanistan have concluded. He said the War Memorial must tell the stories of greatness and smallness in Australia's military history.
