The Why

Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith faces multiple allegations of war crimes. The establishment of the IGADF, the AFP investigations and the OSI has seen the Commonwealth spend in excess of $300 million of taxpayers’ money investigating these allegations against Ben and others. It is anticipated hundreds of millions will be spent by the Commonwealth to prosecute Ben.

This Trust will be used to alleviate the financial burden, ensuring Ben gets a fair go and his family is supported through the years ahead.
