Probably at $50/day, I think that is what you get paid, in the can.

The other question is, will the share holders be happy, if the media is found guilty and the settlement runs into the millions? From reading an article, it sounds like one reported will pumping out bullets, apparently one wrote a book which places Roberts-Smith in a different location to an alleged killing of a teenager .
From your article Rumpy:
In all, the media alleges that Mr Roberts-Smith was responsible for six unlawful killings. One element of the defence, which was recently dropped, included the allegation that Mr Roberts-Smith killed a seventh unarmed Afghan man. Mr McClintock used this development to indicate that he intended to go for broke.

“At the end of the trial, we will put to Your Honour that this justifies an aggravated damages claim and I will put to you that an allegation of murder with no basis justifies the largest award of damages ever in this country,” he said.

It is a case that will make or break reputations, with millions of dollars at stake. Whatever the result, the scene has been set for a monumental showdown.
