There's never been a better time to listen to the excellent podcast series by @BenDohertyCorro @GuardianAus on the defamation case brought by Ben Roberts-Smith against media agencies. The ruling is today. It is a huge moment for press freedom in Oz. #journalismisnotacrime

The ruling just now by Justice Anthony Bresanko in the Ben Roberts-Smith defamation case is a big and important win for journalism and press freedom in Australia. It upholds the media’s important role in undertaking public interest investigations & in the public’s right to know.
