 by Ganesh Sahathevan  Diggers confirmed dead in 'green on blue' attack The Guardian has reported:  Justice Anthony Besanko (of the Federal Court , Australia)  found that,  on the balance of probabilities , Roberts-Smith, Australia’s most decorated living soldier, kicked a handcuffed prisoner off a cliff in Darwan (Afghanistan)  in 2012 before ordering a subordinate Australian soldier to shoot the injured man dead. The finding was part of a decision in  a defamation matter. However , it should be noted Australian courts have applied something closer to  the higher criminal standard in white collar crimel cases.  Additionally, the same Federal Court has held in a previous defamation matter that the plaintiff had been defamed because the publisher concerned had failed to draw a distinction between   "foreign interference" and "spying".

That response was emailed this writer in response to the posts below on Twitter and on this blog which were sent Speakman's office. Speakman had refused to answer any querie  while he was Attorney General, so these issues remain unresolved.  While he seeks to be Leader Of The Opposition his business with Zhu Minshen remains a mystery. Speakman remains silent in the face of  ongoing, publicly  known issues such  as this: https://twitter.com/ GSahathevan/status/ 1640724462525100036 Equally troubling is the fact that his officers and he chose , despite information, to discredit this writer's work investigating some of South East Asia's best known crooks, who also have investment...
