I couldn't sit by and just allow the media, the mainstream media, the Nick McKenzie's of the world, just to be given a green light with anything that he wants to talk about.

And I have a little side quest here for you.

I got myself into a little bit of trouble back in the day on my last rotation.

I...

i wanted to bring home a souvenir i won't say what it was it's in the past now but um off the back of that i i was investigated by adfers and you know obviously the afp or arm of that and um i was very fortunate i was looked after very well by my rsm at the time and um after it all boiled down it was actually just a it was just a young digger being a dickhead which was myself you know why you were looked after by rsm though because he used to be a soldier

Yeah, that's true.

And he climbed the ranks.

He used to be a soldier.

Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, I won't say his name because I just don't know about the legalities and whatever, but everyone will know he was a stash man.

He was a stash man at Tucumano at the time.

But yeah, off the back of that, after the ADFAS fell on their sword and AFP picked it up, a couple of months later, I actually got a phone call from this illustrious journalist asking questions about, hey, I'm aware of what you did and what you didn't do.

Maybe we could talk about that in further detail to protect your identity now that you don't have that status anymore.

I was like, what are you saying to me here?

Nick McKenzie reached out to me.

He reached out to you?

Yeah, he reached out to me.

Yeah, yeah, bro.

And I was just like, I'm still a young dude.

When was this?
