Part of arguably Australia's most popular tourist attraction is being demolished.
The $500 million redevelopment of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra has started. Each year, more than a million people visit it and it's going to get bigger. But there is controversy.

They're joined by Alex Crowe, Steve Evans and reporters Doug Dingwall and Sarah Basford Canales to air the issues and arguments.
