Former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith was "not an honest and reliable" witness in parts of his marathon defamation case against Nine Newspapers, a Federal Court judge has found.
The judgement, published four days after Justice Anthony Besanko dismissed the Victoria Cross recipient's cases, also said Mr Roberts-Smith at times lied and colluded with another witness.
And while Justice Besanko could not find "sufficiently reliable" evidence the soldier punched a woman he was having an affair with, he found he was "intimidatory, threatening and controlling".
