How does the Australian War Memorial tell the messy truth about war? It’s a shrine, a world-class museum and an archive in Canberra that’s undergoing a $550 million upgrade. The Issue looks at what’s next for the Memorial, how it honours veterans, and how it handles a painful history including the Frontier Wars. Plus, 7News uncovers the plans it has in place to handle the war crimes court case against Victoria Cross recipient, Ben Roberts-Smith. The Australian War Memorial Director, Matt Anderson, is this week’s guest on the podcast.
