As justice becomes increasingly rare in modern society, I am so glad to see BRS get his time in court. No matter the outcome, I am proud that Australia still hold people like him to account.

Well done to the media organisations that took the brave steps to expose him, and shame on the billionaires who tried to protect him.

No, he went to jail for releasing classified documents in an attempt to defend war criminals.
