The ABC lost a defamation case brought on by Heston Russell. He sued the broadcaster over articles published by Mark Willacy which implied he was under investigation for the killing of an unarmed prisoner in Afghanistan. Russell has been awarded $390,000 in damages. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/excommando-win-in-war-crime-fight-against-abc/news-story/c5281e04d4d503e6985648b627982e1e https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/breaking-news/former-soldier-heston-russell-savages-abc-after-court-win/news-story/99b1be30d197509ad2e7c0e8e6083be7 https://www.2gb.com/you-made-sht-up-abc-blasted-over-fake-war-crimes-story/ https://www.skynews.com.au/business/media/abc-loses-heston-russell-defamation-case/video/edf504830c85a0b89d9e87253bb11885
