Journalist’s question for Kerry Stokes after Ben Roberts-Smith decision

A journalist at the centre of the Ben Roberts-Smith defamation battle says Seven West chairman Kerry Stokes must decide whether he will continue to support the Victoria Cross recipient in the wake of the Federal Court’s findings.

The case brought by Roberts-Smith, and financially backed by Stokes, was dismissed by a Federal Court judge who found the war veteran murdered or was involved in the murder of four unarmed Afghans.

Nick McKenzie, journalist with Nine Newspapers and 60 Minutes, told Neil Mitchell he thinks Channel Seven’s advertisers and audience will be watching what happens next with interest.
