An SAS soldier who blew the whistle on Ben Roberts-Smith's alleged war crimes in Afghanistan has denied it was a move to "dump on" the Victoria Cross recipient.
The warrant officer class two, codenamed Person Seven, on Friday continued his evidence in the Federal Court, conceding that comments he made about the war hero to investigative journalist Chris Masters in a 2016 interview made him look small and petty.
Person Seven told Mr Masters in the interview that Mr Roberts-Smith was "not a bright bloke" and was "like a frilled-neck lizard", the defamation trial has previously been told.
