There are 3 things to note:

• Emma Roberts, the ex-wife of former SAS soldier/Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith, gave evidence yesterday in his defamation trial. She said he told her to lie and tell the media they were separated at the time a woman turned up at their home to reveal his affair. His lawyers say she hates his guts and is trying to smear him.
   
• Former NRL footballer Jarryd Hayne’s convictions for rape were quashed on appeal and he could face a retrial. Hayne denied the allegations but was jailed for almost 6 years. He will make an application for bail in a Sydney court today. 
  
  
• And 3 women who accused former High Court judge Dyson Heydon of sexual harassment have reached an undisclosed financial settlement with the Commonwealth. Attorney-General Michaelia Cash said “we listened to them and apologised”.
