Law and lawsuit would also be appropriate tags for this post. Australian law is different than US but both include interpretation of slander.
From article: "Justice Anthony Besanko found the newspaper had not proven two other murder allegations; nor reports Mr Roberts-Smith had assaulted a woman with whom he was having an affair; nor a threat against a junior colleague.
But additional allegations that he had unlawfully assaulted captives and bullied peers were found to be true."
