@Hingdog; Ben Roberts-Smith took out the defamation action against investigative journos who were fed firsthand reports from whistle-blowers. As journos in a country opposed to murder and to censorship they reported to the Australian People.

Kerry Stokes sided with Ben Roberts-Smith and publicly declared his willingness to fund his defamation action.

Well, guess what! The court made numerous findings against Ben Roberts-Smith and dismissed the defamation case, leaving Stokes to pay costs that may well also included those of the investigative journos and their employers.

If our defence personnel engage in war crimes I suggest to you that Australians will be at increased risk as a consequence - how many Aussies are trying to travel through Afghanistan?
