Unbelievable, mate.
You know, it's just – and we've got to – like I understand we have commitments, you know, like with the –
UN Charter and this, that and the other.
Yeah.
Look, mate, my experience with the United Nations, having seen them work in East Timor, the corruption even on the street levels in East Timor, you know, like the boys at Charlie Company 4 who are listening to this who might know,
You know, one of our jobs at Ida Bulletin was we used to run these checkpoints and we had to stop, like, illegal black market bootlegging and such, you know.
And it's not like, you know, guys running whiskey or anything.
It was all cigarettes, you know, cigarettes, currency and petrol, you know, like –
Obviously the petrol was controlled, but it was primarily for us.
It was cigarettes, right?
Just a quick story.
Like we, for months, we ran these snap VCPs and we confiscated fucking like hundreds and thousands of cartons of Marlboro Lights and Gadang Garam, those Indonesian clove cigarettes and all that, you know, because they weren't allowed to trade in that.
So it got to the point at our base where we couldn't keep all this shit.
So we had to ask the UN if we could keep it at one of their warehouses.
So it all got loaded up.
We catalogued it, ROC at the time said we want every carton of cigarettes has to be accounted for.
It was accounted for.
It was loaded up in the back of Unimogs, fucking Sixpies, you name it, and we took it to this place and we loaded it up and handed it over.
Well, I think it was like a couple of months later, the Italian fucking UN delegate or whatever that was running the place had sold it all back to the bootleggers.
Because they did an audit on it and it was all gone.
