Anzac Hall Opens With Honesty and Heritage

Australia’s new Anzac Hall and Afghanistan galleries at the War Memorial, costing over $550 million and completed by 2028, mark a historic tribute to veterans—with input from 100+ service members and sandstone from the original site. Chair Kim Beazley and PM Anthony Albanese hailed the “magnificent” redevelopment, praising its honest reckoning with war crimes, including the Brereton report on display, and its balanced view of Australia’s complex military history. The opening, even prompting Parliament to adjourn, sparked debate over Ben Roberts-Smith’s absence—but the focus remains on honoring all who served, regardless of controversy.
