And that's before you take into account that these three potential claimants are all well known public figure with reputations to protect and a whole bunch of dirty laundry they don't want aired, unless they're as stupid as Ben Roberts-Smith is.
The idea that they're just going to walk out of the ABC office with a sack full of money is a delusion propagated by people who don't like the ABC and/or who do like racists.
The goal of most civil litigation isn't to go to trial though, it's to settle before trial. Ben Roberts-Smith ran into a bunch of people who just said 'nah screw you, we're going to go to court and prove this'. It's possible the ABC just reach a financial settlement to quietly make it all go away.
