This is already standard process in NSW. What kind of clown show is Labor running down there bud? Seems time for a change.

He was actively involved in this engagement, he was present albeit not standing over the corporals shoulder while he cut hands off, amazing how Hasties unit have this issue and the killing of 2 innocent children to their name, of course merely misdemeanor accidents and misunderstanding of ROEs... the ROEs are a magically a much broader scope when you're a captain not a corporal and part of the Duntroon family 🫠

His unit also allegedly cut hands off insurgents for biometric screening which was against the ROEs and caused serious diplomatic issues with the Afghan interim government of the day.... He was also never good enough for 2SASR who were the absolute pinnacle, make of that what you want.

SGT Matthew Locke MG (16 March 1974 - 25 October 2007) Matthew Locke was born on 16 March 1974 in Bellingen, New South Wales, to Norm and Jan Locke, the youngest of six children in a family of two sisters and four brothers. Locke left school at the age of 15 to work for two years in a sawmill, before enlisting in the army at the age of 17. He instantly developed a passion for soldiering. Two of his brothers had also served in the Australian Defence Force.

Facts, well said

Cool, so sky after dark is a credible news source now?

People like you really need to be careful what they wish for.

We don't have capital punishment bud. Turn the temp down a bit hey.

There was 19. Only 4 gave evidence of alleged war crimes. Glad we could clear that up champ.

So sky after dark is ok now?

Hero to some, Villian to others. Thankfully a criminal trial will get to test the bulk of the villian theory, unlike his hero status which is forever.

Wonder if person 18 was at tizak the day BRS earnt a VC 🤔

Multiple credible reports from Human Rights Watch, the United Nations, Afghan authorities, and major news outlets document that the Taliban (and closely aligned groups such as the Haqqani Network) recruited and used children and teenagers as suicide bombers, along with broader use of child soldiers, during the post-2001 Afghan conflict.

🤔 dragging someone outside from a tunnel to commit an unlawful killing knowing it's against ROEs, interesting, look forward to this been examined in the criminal trial.

So you have 0 understanding of the Geneva convention, particularly war crimes... Thought as much.

😂 if you cared about the Geneva convention you would understand how dumb this comment is.

Doesn't sound like a war crime, sounds like person 7 got hurt feelings and wasn't good enough for the big leagues.

He told his story, been mindful of the case and also importantly his bail conditions aswell and has left it at that, defamation cases and criminal cases share little in common so both points are mute. He has every right to do such interviews, whether it's smart or not, time will tell. Also he was 2SASR then completed a masters degree, another muted point 😂

How will the misandrists spin this 🙃

Example... When Peter Dutton had to draft policy fixing your failures as a joke affairs minister as leader of the opposition. We have seen Labor for exactly what they are, spare us.
