Seven announces its replacement for Ben Roberts-Smith
Seven has announced its replacement for ousted executive and disgraced Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith following his sensational loss of the defamation trial of the century.
Earlier this month, Roberts-Smith’s case against The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Canberra Times was dismissed in the Federal Court, with Justice Anthony Besanko finding the outlets had demonstrated substantial truth of the imputations in the articles.
The articles, penned in 2018, alleged he unlawfully murdered prisoners while deployed in Afghanistan.
Where or when did Ben Roberts-Smith ever deserve to be parachuted into Seven’s Qld Managing Directors role? Above other personnel that had served their time in lower level supporting roles! Almost Seven’s equivalent to the ABC’S Ita Buttrose appointment. At least Buttrose had some prior relevant experience.
