Following Ben Roberts-Smith’s very public fall from grace, Neil Mitchell is taking a look back at an interview he did with the Victoria Cross recipient 12 years ago.

In a bonus episode of Neil Mitchell Asks Why, Neil turns back the clock to his 2011 interview with Ben Roberts-Smith, Keith Payne and Mark Donaldson, which he says was “one of the highlights” of his career.

“In many ways this is a tough interview to revisit because Ben Roberts-Smith has had a very public fall from grace … but it makes this interview even more fascinating,” the 3AW Mornings host said.
