The ex-SAS soldier was welcomed into Western Australia’s Government House this week to receive the special honour – which is given to all Victoria Cross recipients.
Appearing on the Nine Network’s Weekend Today on Saturday, the prime minster said the decision to award Roberts-Smith a coronation medal was made by King Charles, not by the Australian government. “There’s ongoing legal action on these issues so given the government’s engagement, it’s important that there not be interference in that.The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Roberts-Smith was photographed with his parents attending the event last Thursday. Both the governor of WA, Chris Dawson, and Buckingham Palace have been contacted for comment.
