Australia soldier Ben Roberts-Smith has resigned from media company Seven West Media, the day after a judge found he killed unarmed civilians while serving in the Australian Special Forces in Afghanistan ruth_comerford reports
At Seven West Media’s recent annual general meeting, Mr Stokes said Mr Roberts-Smith “is innocent and deserves legal representation and that scumbag journalists should be held to account”.
Mr Robert-Smith stepped back from his job at the company in Queensland in 2021, to focus on the trial. “That his fellow soldiers have disagreed with each other, this outcome will be the source of additional grief.” “The fees were reimbursed by Ace [Australian Capital Equity], the chair’s private company,” the spokesperson said. “The chairman felt it was unfair that soldiers were being brought before the inquiry without representation.”
