MAPW is pleased to announce that David McBride is the speaker for our annual fundraising dinner in Canberra, ACT.
David McBride grew up In Sydney, and is the youngest child of Drs Bill and Pat McBride.
He won a scholarship to Oxford University before graduating from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and commanded a platoon in Northern Ireland in the 1990s.
He was barrister at the NSW Bar for five years before becoming a full-time Legal Officer for the ADF, and completed two deployments to Afghanistan.
After making a series of internal complaints about what he saw as the covering up of war crimes, he provided classified documents to the ABC 730 Report which became the basis of the ‘Afghan Files’.
He is presently awaiting trial in the ACT Supreme Court which could involve a lifetime in prison.
We are grateful to David for agreeing to speak at our annual ACT dinner.
