And you position yourself on it.
And that's based on what you believe and what you know in yourself is true.
And there's a lot in that.
I don't think he pondered that.
And as a young guy in a difficult situation, I empathize with him.
That's why my point is I'm not interested in what Andrew's got to say about history.
martial war fighting culture or SAS service because he is just one other very junior officer with a very difficult experience and he's entitled to talk about it but he doesn't characterize leadership in the SAS he doesn't characterize relationship between soldiers and officers he doesn't characterize how senior leadership take accountability as a young officer young captain of initial politician he was just jarring off about all sorts of shit so you know
I don't know where that lands, mate, but I'm not interested in Hastie's war stories.
Well, yeah, and I respect you for that, mate.
And again, I'm not going to judge Andrew except to say what I've already said.
And yeah, I want a conviction politician with some...
truth to power who takes a position and backs it and of course they'll adjust to it but they're not subject to the political polling influencer yeah we're better than that we need politicians and I think Andrew's if he's going to succeed and reach his potential he's going to have to work that out mate because right where he is now he's trying to be a bit of everything to everybody I would offer and you know we've all tried that Andrew get back to principles mate
And work out where you're going to be on this and think it through very carefully because I'm not going to be lectured by you and no one else is interested in your limited service in SASR characterising what that means, mate.
Just be very, very careful how you reflect on the regiment because you're going to get yourself exposed to people like me and I don't want to be...
duking it out with Andrew but I won't listen to him characterize my service mate no way no he doesn't mark my homework and it feels like that's what he's doing yeah he's made his bed mate now he's just sleeping totally so yeah fair bump plum big boys rules you better cop it sweet mate or pull your head in mate before we wrap up is there anything else that we haven't covered during this podcast but you want to well maybe just next to where to and you know what therefore so what
Probably recognition is an issue I still feel strongly about, mate, honours and awards and restoring the integrity of what that is to us.
I think the way that the work to be done that's virtuous and worth doing is ensuring we retain the integrity of the honours and awards system around inaction leadership.
We had a parliamentary inquiry.
The evidence was overwhelming.
a battery of witnesses saying, we lost faith in the system, two-tiered recognition.
