The court ultimately ruled in the newspapers’ favour, finding that Roberts- Smith had, on the balance of probabilities, committed war crimes in Afghanistan. The high court earlier this month refused Roberts-Smith’s application for leave to appeal against the decision, ending the seven-year legal fight.
Now he's got his mother to tell everyone off, what the fuck is it with war criminals these days?

Oh dear!
Seems #WarCriminal #BenRobertsSmith has lost his final appeal in the High Court!
There's a few 10s of millions Stokes is never gonna see again!
The question still to be answered by the so called justice system, is why BRS hasn't been charged!!!
Ben Roberts-Smith has received another judicial roasting over his failed appeal against war criminal findings, as he was ordered to pay a lump sum to Nine Newspapers.

The most decorated soldier in Australia just became the most disgraced.
No courage in lies. No honour in silence.
You wore the uniform. Then you torched everything it stood for.

#BenRobertsSmith has lost all but one option to appeal his "war criminal classification" and that is for him & his legal team to take it to the High Court.
Obviously Roberts-Smith at the very least done something "particularly wrong" in the line of duty in #Afghanistan.
A brainsnap is a brainsnap.
Has his Victoria Cross been handed back yet?

The #Albanese government, and specifically federal attorney general MARK DREYFUSS, did absolutely nothing to stop the deplorably unfair imprisonment of war crimes whistleblower DAVID MCBRIDE.
Just like Albanese did nothing to stop #KingCharles from awarding Afghan war rogue #BenRobertsSmith an OAM.
