Royal Commission into veterans' deaths: a vet’s view
Episode description
The Prime Minister has announced a Royal Commission into veterans’ suicide. Will it be enough to stem the number of returned servicemen and women taking their own lives?
We’re joined by Heston Russell - a 16-year army veteran and former Special Air Service Regiment commander and founder of Voice of a Veteran.
41 people died serving in Afghanistan... but ten times that number have taken their own lives after they got home. Why? The greater story needs to be told.
