Special forces soldiers accused of killing' Afghan civilians - a podcast by triple j

A report by the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force found junior soldiers were encouraged to shoot prisoners to get their first kill and that the culture within special forces encouraged cover-ups and secrecy, in what's been described as the most shameful episode in our military history.



We speak to a range of people for special coverage of this landmark report - including the Shadow Defence Minister, a former soldier who now researches war crimes, a young Afghan-Australian, and a lawyer in touch with the families of the Afghans who died.
