Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has opened a museum in France, named in honour of the Australian World War One hero Sir John Monash. The 100 million dollar Australian-funded Sir John Monash Centre has been three years in the making. It's located just outside Villers-Bretonneux in northern France, and tells the story of ordinary Australians who were involved in the battles on the Western Front in World War One. Mr Turnbull has attended the opening with his French counterpart, Edouard Philippe.
