Ben Roberts-Smith, a former Australian Special Air Service (SAS) soldier and Victoria Cross recipient, was granted bail on April 14, 2023, after being charged with five counts of 'war crime - murder' related to alleged incidents in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2012. Following his release, Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, called for Australians to attend ANZAC Day services in support of Roberts-Smith, suggesting it be informally recognized as 'BRS Day.' This statement has led to a polarized response from the public, with some supporting her call while others criticized the idea of linking ANZAC Day to a single soldier's legal troubles. Roberts-Smith's bail conditions include restrictions on travel, surrendering his passport, and regular reporting to police. He is scheduled to appear in court again on June 5, and the prosecution plans to present its evidence by the end of July. The charges against him stem from a five-year investigation by the Australian Federal Police and the Office of the Special Investigator, following a series of allegations published in 2018. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, and Roberts-Smith has consistently denied any unlawful actions.
