To do that to him in front of his children in a packed airport, to then have all of a sudden have these Channel 9 news crew just happen to be on the tarmac, you know, and then not only that,

To fly a helicopter above Silverwater Prison, the sally port where the corrective services do the handover with the cops, I'm pretty sure you can't just jump in your helo and go flying over a fucking prison like that without getting permission from the authorities.

And the thing is they've done it like obviously, you know, I'm not putting my tinfoil hat on, but there's a lot of stuff going on in the world at the moment that Aussies are pissed off about, you know, fuel prices, cost of living, you know, et cetera, et cetera, right?

If they think that we don't realise that it's just a distraction, it's just political theatre.

And two weeks out from Anzac Day.

And I'll be honest with you, man, like I think it backfired on him.
