Quote:McBride is facing a jury trial over the leaking of a cache of documents to the ABC shortly after his discharge from the ADF, which formed the basis of its 2017 “Afghan Files” investigation. The subsequent Brereton Report found credible evidence of war crimes committed by Australian special forces, with 39 murders, executions and allegations of torture.

McBride faces five charges relating to the unauthorised disclosure of information, theft of Commonwealth property and breaching the Defence Act, and could face up to 50 years in prison.

Quote:McBride was forced to drop his application for protection under whistleblower laws after the government moved to quash the testimony of two of his key experts on public-interest immunity laws.

Quote:McBride’s lawyer Mark Davis also said he saw no joy in seeing Schulz arrested.

“What occurred in Afghanistan was a result of the deliberate policy of commanders and the Canberra military bureaucracy to be blind to the actions of their soldiers in the field. It was an unparalleled dereliction of duty or avoidance of responsibility,” he said.

“[Schulz and McBride] are both facing prison. Where are the ministers facing prison [and] where are the generals facing prison? Both McBride and this man could feel that the responsibilities should lay at their feet.”

Quote:Father, into your hands I commend my spirit
Father, into your hands
Why have you forsaken me?
In your eyes forsaken me
In your thoughts forsaken me
In your heart forsaken me, oh
Trust in my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
