Nick Mckenzie will present the 2024 Sir John Monash Lecture. His book Crossing the Line is the explosive inside-story behind the once revered but now disgraced SAS soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith. Meticulously researched, Crossing the Line shares the powerful untold story of how a small group of brave soldiers and two determined reporters overcame a plot to suppress one of the greatest military scandals in Australian history.
