Scott Morrison and Angus Campbell at odds over Afghanistan war crimes report recommendation
It’s not often we see the Prime Minister and the Chief of Defence at odds, but the Brereton Report detailing allegations of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan has exposed a public rift between the two and it’s already pretty clear who will win the argument.
General Angus Campbell won mostly praise for his handling of this bombshell report released 10 days ago.
As Chief of Army, he was the one who commissioned the inquiry four years ago and now as Defence Chief, General Campbell accepted the findings and recommendations with the seriousness and gravity they deserved.
In one of the darkest moments for the Australian Defence Force, the General is seen by both sides of politics to have responded well.
Mostly, anyway.
