Original Note:
Ben Roberts-Smith is not a "criminal" for the basic reason he has not been charged with or found guilty by a criminal court, of a crime. Defamation actions are a private civil, not a criminal, matter. Ben Roberts-Smith under Australian law is still an innocent man. https://tdllaw.com.au/all-your-australian-defamation-law-questions-answered https://gordonlegal.com.au/services/defamation-privacy-law/defamation-law-in-australia-a-quick-guide https://prosperlaw.com.au/post/defamation-in-australia/ https://www.theaustralian.com.au/commentary/steve-price-australians-need-to-remember-ben-robertssmith-finding-was-not-a-criminal-case/video/397e35704c5ed8b3edc3a39b17351431
