"Ben Roberts-Smith" is trending

After all these defamation cases of late (Ben Roberts-Smith, Craig McLachlan, Peter Dutton, Christian Porter) I hope the tide is turning in favour of free speech. We need to have a Dutch style free speech protection for journalism where courts won't entertain these ego trials

@hughriminton @10NewsFirst “Hello Ben Roberts Smith? It’s Craig McLachlan here…”

@Kate_McClymont @smh @theage @abcnews @knowleslornak @jopuccini Ben Roberts Smith right now: https://t.co/Z5gbvoTAP4

@hughriminton @10NewsFirst Decided not to take the Ben Roberts-Smith approach?

@hughriminton @10NewsFirst You can do that? Somebody should tell Ben Roberts-Smith.

Okay so I may have accidentally made up a 'Ben Roberts-Smith exists in Bluey' fan theory on the fly during tonight's recording of @ausgothicpod on Bluey Fan Theories

What’s the latest on Ben Roberts-Smith? We haven’t heard about a new crime he did for like a week.

@hughriminton @10NewsFirst I guess Craig has been watching the Ben Roberts-Smith defamation case.

@Ageinvestigates @theage @smh @Kate_McClymont Welcome news but rather unsurprising. It's had Ben Roberts-Smith 2.0 written all over it. Kudos to you all.

@zephemiah @Markyles @abc730 Hale school always needs more money. It breeds such impressive people: Ben Roberts Smith, Christian Porter...

@hughriminton @10NewsFirst The difference of not having the backing of Kerry Stokes to pay your legal bills. Am I right Ben Roberts-Smith?

@Peter_Fitz @smh A tad smarter than Ben Roberts-Smith.

*stares in Ben Roberts-Smith* https://t.co/jloGKKrl9X

@Peter_Fitz @smh He didn’t want to Ben Roberts-Smith himself?

McLachlan tipped to play Ben Roberts-Smith in courtroom drama biopic. https://t.co/HngrsS8WI3

Barbra (& maybe one day Rebekah Vardy & Ben Roberts Smith) understands. https://t.co/Cdp4JiQELW

@PaulMeekPerth Maybe the Ben Roberts Smith train wreck court case inspired him

@Peter_Fitz @smh He can now his support behind Ben Roberts-Smith.

Ben Roberts Smith should’ve done this two dozens witnesses ago lol https://t.co/CWPig6PaNK

@mrpford @Sandra_Sully If only Ben Roberts Smith knew when to surrender. At least Christian Porter was smart enough to pull the pin too. Clearly Craig didn’t have a gazillionaire indemnifying his legal costs. 🤷‍♂️

@hughriminton @10NewsFirst He’s watched the outcomes from the Ben Roberts Smith case, hasn’t he!

And with that, Craig McLachlan realises he's done a Ben Roberts-Smith... but has the good sense to pull the plug, unlike BRS.

He sounds like a creepy harassing scumbag, but at least he got better legal advice than Ben Roberts-Smith https://t.co/2XO75vfXOc

He didn’t want to Ben roberts smith himself. https://t.co/TJAJ5B6FPV

@hughriminton @10NewsFirst Must have spitted the Ben Roberts-Smith debacle and thought better of it!

Is anyone surprised by this? Ben Roberts-Smith has proven what an own goal defamation cases are when you’re actually in the wrong. Hope I never have to hear about Craig McLachlan again. And hope this is some step towards peace for his victims. https://t.co/LHfsqDM4SP

@hughriminton @10NewsFirst This was about the be the biggest own goal since Ben Roberts-Smith

@JackDexterity @tysonbrody @leducviolet Imagine if he Ben Roberts Smith 'd himself. (Sued for defamation, then had the court case catalogue his crimes as part of his own defence).

The fact that his performance is even mentioned infers the allegedly bullied soldier deserved to be bullied because he was below-par or stood out. https://t.co/uXOz5y6hcL

@JimMolan I wonder if you and Ben Roberts Smith think the same way. You seem the type.
