Guardian Australia today announces the launch of Ben Roberts-Smith v the media, a special 5-episode podcast series about the Ben Roberts-Smith defamation trial. The episodes will be available from October 17, and a preview episode is available today.
The podcast delves into the court case of Australia’s most decorated living soldier, who is suing three of the country’s most-trusted newspapers for defamation over articles he says falsely accuse him of war crimes. The series re-enacts key parts of the trial as heard in the federal court of Australia, bringing the legal drama to life.
