Justice Anthony Besanko ruled the newspapers had established, by the “balance of probabilities” (the standard of evidence in a civil lawsuit), that Roberts-Smith had committed war crimes.

Key Points: 
  • Justice Anthony Besanko ruled the newspapers had established, by the “balance of probabilities” (the standard of evidence in a civil lawsuit), that Roberts-Smith had committed war crimes.
  • Following the ruling, much public debate has focused on what the Australian War Memorial should do with Robert-Smith’s uniform, helmet and other artefacts of his on display.

The case of the oil paintings

    • The memorial also has two heroic oil painting portraits of Roberts-Smith by one of Australia’s leading artists, Michael Zavros.
    • These paintings were commissioned by the memorial in 2014.
    • Pistol Grip (Ben Roberts-Smith VC) is a larger-than-life-sized depiction of Roberts-Smith, camouflage arms outstretched, mimicking the action of holding a pistol.

Moral and ethical ambiguity

    • In 1992, the Canadian Airborne Regiment was deployed as peacekeepers to Somalia.
    • In 1993, 16-year-old Shidane Arone was found hiding in the Canadian base, believed to have been stealing supplies.
    • Master Corporal Clayton Matchee and his subordinate Private Kyle Brown were charged with his murder and torture.
    • It addresses an ethical grey area many soldiers face during active service when the hierarchy of command comes into direct conflict with conscience.

The complexity of contemporary art

    • Brandon’s curatorial decision to display Kearns’s Somalia paintings strike at the heart of what is special and important about contemporary war art in a national museum.
    • Contemporary art presents ethical and moral complexity, grey zones and a range of perspectives.
    • The portraits should be displayed in ways that address this complexity, capturing the evolving story of Roberts-Smith in explanatory wall text.
    • The most compelling contemporary art works – and the most valuable museum displays in our national institutions – are those that consider our complex stories, raise important and self-reflective questions, and challenge simplistic narratives.

The civil trial ended in July 2022 after an astonishing 110 days of evidence and legal submissions.

Key Points: 
  • The civil trial ended in July 2022 after an astonishing 110 days of evidence and legal submissions.
  • Besanko determined the newspapers did establish the “substantial truth” of some of the allegations, though not of others.
  • Read more:
    A win for the press, a big loss for Ben Roberts-Smith: what does this judgment tell us about defamation law?

Substantial and contextual truth

    • Besanko also found allegations of bullying by Roberts-Smith to be substantially true, but did not find that the newspapers had established the substantial truth of the domestic violence allegations.
    • The “contextual” truth changes came in a push to have uniformity in defamation laws back in 2005.
    • Under the law, they needed only to show the “substantial” truth of what they had alleged.
    • Because the papers were able to establish the substantial truth of key aspects of the reporting, Roberts-Smith’s case failed.

What happens next?

    • The newspapers requested three weeks to consider how much to seek for costs and third-party costs.
    • There’s little doubt that both sides have each spent millions on their respective legal teams.

A recent survey by this business lobby group found four-fifths of firms can’t recruit the people they need.

Key Points: 
  • A recent survey by this business lobby group found four-fifths of firms can’t recruit the people they need.
  • Overlooking employees often happens when management plays it safe, rather than risking giving “one of their own” an important new assignment.
  • You need to be given opportunities to stretch, learn and develop to fulfil your potential at work.
  • This article is part of Quarter Life, a series about issues affecting those of us in our twenties and thirties.
  • Growth: learning and motivation Many studies identify the ability to learn as key to predicting future leadership effectiveness.

How can you develop these qualities?

    • Rather than “having all the answers”, you need to be able to find or figure the answers out.
    • This means that leaders need the humility to know they don’t know it all, and the interpersonal skills to listen openly and learn from a diverse network of people.
    • At the height of the COVID pandemic, for example, New Zealand’s then prime minister Jacinda Ardern didn’t have all the answers.

Problems identifying potential

    • Unfortunately, organisations often rely upon current (or past) performance as a barometer of potential, which is far from ideal – not just because only a small proportion of current high performers also have high potential, but because people with strong potential may not currently be performing at their best.
    • Either way, your employer shouldn’t conflate your current performance with your potential.
    • To avoid these problems, organisations need to assess their employees objectively to find those with leadership potential.

Supporting future leaders

    • They should balance challenge with support through coaching, to help employees learn as much as they can from their experiences.
    • If you want to be a future leader, you can then use these experiences to enhance your job performance and reach your full potential.
