    No words can suffice the respect that Heston and his team deserve, nor to adequately describe the contempt that the ABC deserves.

    He's not the only staunch digger who got stitched up by Australian media so journalists could further their careers at the expense of soldiers careers.
    This is a win for many Veterans

      yep exactly, he is probably one of very few who have the platform where he can fight back and raise these issues. It would be nice if all of the diggers who were screwed over by the media could fight back themselves and collectively as i think we would have very few tv stations left in Australia and even less so called Journo's left who are chasing the big stories at the cost of the truth

    It is inexcusable how the ABC has treated Heston. I just feel so deeply saddened for what he has had to endure these past few years. Hang in there mate.

    The Army officer core were called the "Dark Side" and I was told all Australian offices would betray you for any reason. If you're thinking of joining the Army look elsewhere. If you don't get betrayed by an officer then the public servants will work hard to get you to commit suicide, just look at the growth in veteran suicides over the years despite over 50 "enquiries" being a Royal Commission and internal government ones.

    Good on you mate. Australian patriots who love this country enough to put their lives on the line appear to be in the minority! HOWEVER, as you know "The ADF" is a family for life. Amidst all of the enemies of our culture, inc Polies! are large pockets of traditional Aussies who came from everywhere, to become one of us! Many of us are old school and loyalty, pride, TRUTH, respect still mean something. "We will remember them!" is not just a sentence to us. You are never alone brother! We are all around you and you have our love and support!
