The Australian's foreign editor said requiring soldiers in the Special Air Service Regiment to wear body cameras would be 'the end of the special forces'.
that the Albanese government had approved plans for soldiers in the Special Air Service Regiment to wear body cameras for “short duration, specified tasks”, which the Australian Defence Department is now in the process of implementing.
“If this is implemented, it's the end of the Special Forces and the special forces have been the tip of the spear. “It can be useful in a particular intelligence gathering operation, such as the assassination of Osama bin Laden – you wanted a historic record for that very defined, very short operation.
The Australian's Foreign Editor, Greg Sheridan, said making special forces soldiers wear body cameras was"barking mad". Picture: Sky News Australia
