As explained by Albanese, the Australian Government had no hand in it. CRIII decided to award the medal to all VC recipients.
Interesting that the presentation was made by the WA Governor and not the GG. In a State where the media are mostly controlled by Stokes.
Okay, from now on, a quick google search on any prospective medal recipients please.
Disgraced war criminal… without any criminal charges having been laid. This belongs in the journalism thread.

The judge basically called him that in his failed defamation action. I don’t have a problem with it in this case.

l don’t have a problem with it either, l am just a little surprised that a newspaper went with it. Could it be grounds for another defamation case?
Nope, they are just saying what the judgement said.
