In 2023 a judge dismissed Ben Roberts-Smith’s defamation case against The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, and The Canberra Times. Representatives of the newspapers testified that, according to their reporting, Roberts-Smith had been involved in the killings of six civilians. The judge ruled that the newspapers’ allegations that Roberts-Smith had committed war crimes were “substantially true.” Roberts-Smith appealed the decision, but the ruling was upheld in 2025.
