BEN Roberts Smith’s attendance at Saturday’s Currumbin RSL Anzac Day dawn service at Elephant Rock on the Gold Coast’s Currumbin Beach, attracted national media attention and prompted a wave of well-wishers to swamp him afterwards.
“Their sons (who went to war) are the ones I’m thinking about today, because that’s what this is all about,” Roberts Smith told reporters.
“And we shouldn’t be able to forget their sacrifice because it is enduring – I think about it every day, they live with that. They’ve given that to us. We owe them a deep debt.”
Asked if he had any doubts about attending because of his charges, he responded without hesitation: “I never thought about not coming – I was always going to be here.”
A banner with the words “we support BRS” was seen hanging from a balcony on a house on a hill overlooking the ceremony.
He was seen with his girlfriend, Sarah Matulin, among others in the crowd watching the service.
Mr Roberts-Smith has been living in Queensland after being released from Silverwater jail in Sydney to await trial for five counts of the war crime of murder.
While he has yet to enter a plea, he has strenuously denied the allegations, which stem from alleged actions during his service in Afghanistan.
The former director of the Australian National War Memorial, Brendan Nelson, strongly defended Mr Roberts-Smith’s attendance at the ceremony when approached by media.
Dr Nelson, a former leader of the federal Liberal Opposition and now a senior executive at aerospace company Boeing, told the ABC at a dawn service event in London: “Ben Roberts-Smith, as far as I’m concerned, is a national hero.”
The fake charges laid by a corrupt and self confessed unethical journalist should be dropped and all involved with this political witch hunt, from Brereton on, should be brought up on conspiracty charges. All senior commanders at the time should also be charged, after all they are the ones responsible, but in true communist form, the government has given them immunity. Evan our fake PM should be stood down and charged. This is a national disgrace.
It is an extremely corrupt govt. behind this attack on Ben.. plus those officials who
are really to blame.
I hope Karma hits them hard.
Ben’s the man.
Each day that passes, it becomes more obvious what the media stands for and against. They remind me of an old shark, way past its prime, thrashing in the shallows. If one looks carefully at its dorsal fin, one will see its owner has attached a Mark of the Beast 666 ID tag. The flailing shark, with its plastic teeth falling out, still attracts onlookers, but in many ways its last hurray is irrelevant. Viewer-fossils who cling to the past still admire it however. MSM, the biggest bullies in town, use some of the oldest tricks in the book to push agendas – public shaming, fabrications, exaggerations, deceit. This deception is all achieved by people who will never know even 5 seconds of intense warfare on the frontline. Long story short, MSM offers commentaries based on no direct experience, burdened with a complete lack compassion. Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov called this out in 1984 during his interview with legend G. Edward Griffin.
I always cry on Anzac Day when the aircraft fly over our house thinking of all the military personnel killed or injured in so many wars.
I cried more today with what the mongrels have done to Ben Roberts Smith; it’s absolutely appalling.
