The woman with whom Ben Roberts-Smith was having an affair – and who is at the centre of an allegation of domestic violence against him – is expected to give evidence in his defamation trial on Tuesday afternoon.
The trial has spent weeks focused on Australian SAS missions in Afghanistan, with a series of former comrades giving evidence about actions on operation, but it will shift its focus to Australia as the woman, anonymised in court documents as Person 17, enters the witness box.
