The fall-out is continuing across the Tasman over the Ben Roberts-Smith defamation case.

The Victoria Cross recipient has lost a defamation case over three newspapers, that published articles about alleged war crimes in Afghanistan and bullying of former SAS colleagues.

Roberts-Smith could now face criminal charges.

He says there's a large display about Ben Roberts-Smith at the Australian War Memorial.
