Disgraceful second Aboriginal leaders are BOOED at packed daybreak companies – as Ben Roberts-Smith shares defiant message as he is swarmed by supporters

Aboriginal leaders at dawn services across Australia have been met with loud booing as they addressed the large crowds.

Indigenous serviceman Uncle Ray Minniecon, whose grandfather served in the Light Horse Brigade, was booed as he began his speech at Sydney’s Martin Place.

The loud booing began just seconds after he started to speak and lasted for about a minute. Uncle Minniecon was met with warm applause as he finished his address.

Meanwhile in Melbourne, Uncle Mark Brown was met with a similar reception, with members of the crowd interrupting his speech with loud boos.

‘Today, I’m here to welcome everyone to my father’s country,’ Uncle Mark said as the boos started.

People began to cheer, seemingly in an effort to drown out the boos.

And in Adelaide, a small section of the crowd began to boo but quickly piped down.

Anthony Albanese has shared a message with Australia as he and wife Jodie Haydon attend a dawn service in the nation’s capital.

The Prime Minister was pictured at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, where he laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Fallen Soldier.

Accused war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith has made an appearance at an Anzac Day dawn service in Queensland this morning.

Australia’s most decorated soldier was seen at the service on Currumbin Beach, on the Gold Coast, his medals of service pinned to his suit jacket.

He shared a defiant message with the media following the emotional service.

‘I’ve never thought about not coming, I was always going to be here,’ the former SAS soldier told the ABC.

Photos show a beaming Roberts-Smith chatting with veterans, shaking the hand of a naval officer, and smiling for selfies with supporters.

He attended the service with his partner, Sarah Matulin, and his parents.

Ms Matulin appeared to be moved by the early-morning ceremony and was seen blowing her nose, as thousands turned out to pay their respects.

Roberts-Smith said he was thinking about the families of service members and the ultimate sacrifice many have made in defence of the nation.

He said the country owed them a ‘deep debt’.

‘Everyone should be reflecting and commemorating the service of all of those Australians that have given us the country that we live in,’ he said.
