Episode Description from the Publisher

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.    If you enjoy 7am, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support.   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Instagram Guest: Journalist Ben McKelvey Photo: AAP Image/Russell FreemanSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
