	Description:		Today, we're bringing you an episode from our archive. In November 2020, a damning report about Australia’s Defence Force was published. Known as the Brereton report - it found credible evidence that our Defence Force had committed war crimes. This investigation shocked the nation, and led to a reckoning within our Defence Force - and the public’s perception of it. And there was one woman - Samantha Crompvoets - whose research kicked off the whole thing. But in doing so, she has had to pay a hefty price. On this episode, Samantha tells us about that story, and why telling the truth came at such a cost. This episode contains mentions of suicide. This episode first aired on July 6, 2023.
