Literally just watched the boy boy video talking about this prick (our friend is going to prison)
May he suffer.

About bloody time. I'm glad that for once there's a semblance of justice
I'm a bit surprised it has taken this long.
There was probably reluctance to accept it as true because he's a VC recipient. One of the only seven living recipients in the world. These guys are meant to all be heroes. And what this dude did in 2011 was heroic. It's just that he (allegedly) did stuff after that date that we don't want to believe a hero is capable of.
Being a hero and being a monster aren't mutually exclusive sadly.
you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain (allegedly)
From news.com.au coverage of political reactions:
arrests?
Good, more please.
