	Description:		Today, we're bringing you an episode from our archive. One of Australia’s most decorated soldiers, Ben Roberts-Smith, sued our newspapers over a series of articles alleging he had committed war crimes. The defamation trial became one of the longest and most expensive the world has seen. Nick McKenzie, the reporter who broke the Ben Roberts-Smith story, discusses the trial, the courtroom dramas and the moment a soldier, known as Person 7, outed himself as a whistleblower in court. Roberts-Smith denies all allegations that were published by The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald. This episode was hosted by Nathanael Cooper and first aired on March 17, 2022.
