Screened on 28 February 2012.
Full and unedited segment.
Context- Following his award for CPL Ben Roberts-Smith , the Daily Telegraph said he was on a "charm offensive", including multiple media appearance and a topless cover for Men's Health.
Gorgi Coghlan introduces the segment by saying she saw a picture of him on the weekend that she couldn't get out of her head, days later. She then showed a photo of Ben Roberts-Smith, topless in a pool (from an earlier TV appearance) and said "Hello! Look at that physique!"

The issue for discussion, triggered by CPL Roberts-Smith's TV exposure of his physique, was his attractiveness to Australian women.

Co-host Yumi Stynes responded with, "He's going to dive down to the bottom of the pool to see if his brain is there." She later explained that she did not know much about CPL Roberts-Smith nor the Australian Defence Force, and merely saw a "very handsome guy". "So I made a joke, because how could anybody possibly be so perfect?" Stynes said. "What I didn't estimate was how much my joke was not appreciated. I sort of intimated that maybe he wasn't very smart, because how could you be that buff and spend that much time in a gym and be smart as well?"

Guest panelist George Negus then said "Nothing about poor old Ben...but that sort of bloke...and what if they're not up to it in the sack?"
Yumi Stynes asked for clarification- "Are you intimating, George Negus, that he might be a dud root?" Negus clarified, saying "If I'd said that, the phone would be ringing off the hook." He reiterated that he was not talking about Ben Roberts-Smith specifically, but about buff men in general who may focus on their own bodies at the expense of their partners.

Despite this, tabloid media incorrectly reported that Negus and Stynes had questioned a war hero's sexual prowess because of his use of IVF to conceive his children leading to intense social media attacks and death threats against Yumi Stynes.

At no point did Stynes or Negus question Ben Roberts-Smith's sexual prowess or call him a "dud root"

Negus and Stynes both spoke personally with Ben Roberts-Smith who accepted their explanations, agreed there was no malicious intent, and requested that people move on from it.

On 13 September 2014, Fairfax newspapers issued an apology to Ms Stynes and Mr Negus.
News Limited publications, The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun and news.com.au also retracted the incorrect allegations.
